Hi All

Does anyone know anything about Loring Andrews in Cincinnati? I just purchased a small tray that has a grape - repousse border and would like to know more about it. I saw an earlier post but all that gave was that it was a retailer from 1896-1958. a little internet search turned up a Newstedt-Loring Andrews which I guess is the successor and a few pieces here and there that all seem to be in the same style as the tray. So obviously they were/are retailers but did they also make silver or just retail silver made by other makers without the makers name? Any additional help would really be appreciated.

Loring Andrews & Co's years in business in Cincinnati look about right. Their final year may be about a decade short, but without any firm information to refute it, I'll have to say it looks good enough to me for now.

From what I can gather, they were jewelers, silversmiths, importers and antique dealers.
And they were among the very best in their part of the country.

Loring Andrews was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1854 and died there in 1921. He is listed as a jeweler in the Cincinnati, Ohio census's from 1880 to 1920.

He is listed in Cincinnati directories as a clerk and a salesman at 58 W 4th from 1874 to 1886 and a salesman at E (Everett) E Isbell & Co jewelers from 1887 to 1894. Loring Andrews & Co is listed in the 1896 Cincinnati directory which gives them an approximate startup year of 1895.
