About the Item

"Antique late 19th – early 20th century (1886-1928) silver plate pitcher by E.G. Webster & Son. “The firm of Elizur G. Webster began the silverplating activity at 175 Broadway, NY in 1860. In 1864 E.G. Webster entered in partnership with William Dupree forming the firm Webster & Dupree active at 447 Broome (serving probably as the factory of the business). In 1865, Adelbert A. Webster joined his brother forming E.G. Webster & Brother active at 14 Maiden Lane. The activity of Webster & Dupree continued at 447 Broome until c. 1866 when presumably became the factory of the new Webster Manufacturing Co (Dupree remained in the business as factory's superintendent). The location at 14 Maiden Lane became the firm's showroom. In 1867 the Webster Manufacturing Co was incorporated with E.G. Webster as president and A.A. Webster as secretary but in 1875 the firm changed its name back to E.G. Webster & Brother. In 1886 A.A. Webster left the partnership (forming A.A. Webster & Co) and E.G. Webster formed a new partnership with his son Fred H. Webster under the name of E.G. Webster & Son. E.G. Webster died in 1900 and the business was continued by his son Fred H. Webster until 1928 when the firm was sold to International Silver Co. F.H. Webster continued for some time his activity in the firm (he died in 1941) but the production was moved to Meriden and combined with the Barbour Silver Co factory ""A"". In 1961 the trademark was changed to Webster Wilcox until 1981 when the business was sold to Oneida Silversmiths. History Chrono E.G. Webster 1859-1864 Webster & Dupree 1864-1865 E.G.
