Re: Barbour Silver Co/International Silver Co

Submitted by tankfarmer on Sun, 07/27/2008 - 22:33.

Barbour Silver Co. was organized in 1892 by Samuel L. Barbour, and others. In Aug. 1893, they took over some of the machinery and stock of the Hartford Silver Plate Co., organized in 1882 and believed to have been carried on for a short time under the name of Hartford Silver Co. When the International Silver Co. was formed in 1898, Samuel L. Barbour, who had been active head of Barbour Silver Co. for several years, continued as manager of that branch (known as factory A) and was made a director of the new Co. and remained for several years after the plant was moved to the buildings formerly occupied by the Meriden Silver Plate Co. Samuel L. Barbour was born in Norwalk, Conn. about 1865 and died in San Francisco, Nov. 11, 1925. I believe the piece you have is Silver Plate. Hope this helps.
