CIRCA 1765, WITH MARK OF MYER MYERS, NEW YORK

In addition to producing all varieties of silver wares, Myer Myers also sold imported and second-hand silver. David Barquist, Myer Myers Jewish Silversmith in Colonial New York, 2001, p. 42, notes that Myer's brother may have travelled to London in 1758 for the purpose of buying silver to be re-sold in his retail shop. Other foreign wares may have come into his possession as payments. An English silver cann with Myer's mark over-striking London hallmarks suggests that it was sold through Myer's shop.
