In 1769, Nicholas Roosevelt advertised in the New York Gazette and Weekly Mercury "a parcel of ready made silver...silver tea-pots and tea spoons...soup-spoons both scollep'd & plain, table spoons, tea-tongs, punch ladles and strainers, milk-pots, snuff-boxes, and sundry other small articles, both gold and silver...which he will sell very reasonable, as he intends declining business, and to move in the Country in the Spring" (as quoted in Louise Belden, Marks of American Silversmiths, 1980, p. 364).
