Members,
Mark is from a coin silver mug ca.1850

It also has the maker's mark "R. Copeland" and is stamped "New York"
Does anyone have any info on Copeland & Beiderhase. I found a Fuchs & Beiderhase, but they worked ca.1900.
Thanks, Gadroon

Robert Copeland and Bernard D. Beiderhase, New York City, had a partnership that lasted from about 1851 through 1856.

Regards,
Pat.

Copeland went on to work as a silversmith in Philadelphia, where he was listed as such in the 1880 census, age 65. Neither man, nor the partnership, is recorded in Darling's New York.

Many thanks for the info, can you tell me what reference they are listed in, I came up empty in Ensko & Kovel.
Cheers, Gadroon

Beiderhase a silversmith who immigrated at age 23 from Hanover in 1848 is listed as a chaser a few doors down from Copeland in the 1857-58 New York City Directory. By 1870, Beiderhase had turned to the insurance business.

Copeland who was born about 1818 in New York is listed in the 1900 U S Federal Census for New York, New York as a silversmith.

Do we have a full name on the last Beiderhase entry from 2010?
