Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 09-05-2001 10:42 PM Great list! It is good to be able to identify the retailers who often put their marks on silver, and these old city directories are a gold mine of information. Thank for transcribing it! Brent IP: Logged
Trefid Posts: 96 Registered: Nov 99	posted 09-18-2001 02:47 AM Thanks, WEV, for confirming something that I had long heard only as rumor--that Gordon & Co. were indeed silversmiths. In 1850 they patented a die-struck GRAPE pattern, but they could have been working for another Boston firm when they did so. Now I know differently. IP: Logged
