SITES WHERE SILVERWARE
WAS MANUFACTURED AND TRADED:
BALL, BLACK & CO
The beginning of the firm is controversial. A trace leads to Marquand & Poulding, who began their partnership in Savannah, Georgia in 1801. In 1810 Isaac Marquand moved to New York consolidating the company with several other firms.
Another trail refers to Marquand & Barton, founded in 1810 in New York's Maiden Lane by Erastus Barton and Frederick Marquand.
The firm added and lost partners numerous times and in 1823 became Marquand & Co (late Marquand & Gelston).
In 1839 the name was changed to Ball, Tompkins & Black moving to a new building at 247 Broadway (1848).
In the 1851, when the name was changed to Ball, Black & Co (as a partnership of Henry Ball, William D. Black and Ebenezer Moore), there was no doubt that the firm was the leading jewelry house in the nation.
