Some Old Jewellers of New Orleans
Re: Some Old Jewellers of New Orleans
S.L. WALDHORN
343, Royal Street, New Orleans
S. L. Waldhorn, jeweler and dealer in curios, 343 Royal St., is exhibiting a quaint pocket sundial and compass 225 years old. This curious relic is made of brass and was manufactured in France, and by turning a device so as to get the latitude, one can easily tell the exact time, day or night, in 20 different cities in that republic. Mr. Waldhorn states one can also find the correct time in this country by this device by fixing the latitude as well as the points of the compass. This pocket sundial and compass was purchased from an old French family residing in New Orleans. It is said to be in perfect condition.
Source: The Jewelers' Circular - 6th December 1916
S. L. Waldhorn, 343 Royal St., is showing two very heavy gold medals of large dimensions possessing much historical interest. Both of the trophies were awarded by the “Republican Blues,” a crack military organization of New Orleans for superior marksmanship in 1810 and 1812. On the face of the oldest medal is engraved the patriotic words: “Where liberty dwells there is my country.” The 1812 medal bears this inspiring, although braggadocio, inscription: “To the heart of the foe.” The wearer of this medal had a chance to get at “the heart of the foe,” as the Battle of New Orleans was fought (the deciding engagement) on Jan. 8, 1812, and the medal was presented Jan. 1, 1812.

What are thought to be some of the oldest gold relics in this country are being exhibited in the jewelry window of The Waldhorn Co., 343 Royal St. They are thought to be at least 3000 years old and are alleged to have come from tombs in Peru and are known as Inca relics. These almost pre-historic souvenirs consist of beetles, lizards, small idols or images connected with a kind of a pearl in the shape of a large necklace, and are said to be solid gold. This store makes a specialty of antique gold and silverware, and is the largest house of its kind in the south and probably in the United States.

A small fire last week damaged considerably the building occupied by W.

The structure occupied by George Foerster, a retail jeweler, was slightly damaged by water, but no loss was experienced by Mr. Foerster.

Re: Some Old Jewellers of New Orleans
The Jewelers’ Fraternity, of New Orleans, La., signalized its third installation of officers by a breakfast at the City Restaurant on Monday, May 15th. This interesting and enjoyable event was presided over by President Granzin, who, in a appropriate speech, dwelt on the aims of the Fraternity and the achievements of its three years’ of existence, especially its influence in bringing the members of the trade into more intimate social, and business relations.Leonard Krower, the well-known New Orleans jobber, sent a telegram wishing success to the fraternity, and T. Hausman & Sons sent a check for the sick members’ fund, both communications were acknowledged by a standing vote of thanks. The most graceful feature of the meeting was the presentation to President Granzin of a loving cup, This unique gift is in the form of a crucible, six inches high. The presentation address was made by Judge Skinner. The cup was filled with wine, and used by the members to pledge the health of the organization. In addition to President Granzin, these officers were elected: Thomas F. Hall, vice-president; Daniel Ramelli, recording secretary; Alphonse Mandot, financial secretary.
