The first I can find of William Frantz and Henry Opitz (Frantz & Opitz) is in the Soards' Directory for New Orleans in 1876.
The last I can find of them is Frantz & Opitz Jewelry & Watches Mfrs listed in the 1899 Annuaire du commerce Didot-Bottin. Etranger - Page 1577.
In the 1900 Soards' New Orleans Directory William Frantz is listed with Frantz Bros & Co.
Henry Opitz died on 19 December 1903, so it is possible that 1898 was Frantz & Opitz last year in business.

I just took another look at the above link and saw that Frantz & Opitz dissolved the business in 1897, so that's it.
