camgar13 Posts: 3 Registered: Apr 2004	posted 04-30-2004 07:23 AM I have a juleps cup marked "Hudson Dolfinger Louisville" I have done a web search and foud an identical cup. Apparently it is coin silver. Hudson Dolfinger operated in the 1850's. Can anyone tell me more . Was Hudson Dolfinger a silver manufacturer or a retailer? IP: Logged
Fitzhugh Posts: 136 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 04-30-2004 07:40 AM Henry Hudson was a manufacturing silversmith per the 1850 Louisville, KY census. He was active there from 1841-ca. 1880, and died in 1888. He entered into a short-lived partnership with one of his shop workers, Jacob Dolfinger, about 1855. By 1858 Hudson was working independantly again. IP: Logged
