Author	Topic: Edward Ball, NY
EWG unregistered	posted 02-04-2004 09:58 AM I am looking for information on the Edward Ball Co., N.Y., that is listed in Rainwater and Fuller as a sterling silver manufacturer. Their mark was the latters 'EB' within a small circle. When were they active? What retailers did they use? Do any catalogues survive? IP: Logged
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 03-04-2004 12:29 PM Just an idea... Could the Edward Ball Co have been founded by George Edward Ball, son of Charles Ball, a silversmith who emigrated from England in 1891, and older brother of Percy Ball? All worked for a time with Gorham. George Edward Ball later worked with Tiffany's in New York, and lectured on silver at the Metropolitan Museum. There are a quantity of notes related to a history of the Shaw family at: [<gone from the internet> uwm.edu/~schuck/shaw/notes.html]uwm.edu/~schuck/shaw/notes.html IP: Logged
EWG unregistered	posted 06-07-2004 10:59 AM Thanks. The George Edward Ball theory is as good as any right now. His connections with the Metropolitan and Tiffany's are consistent with the "of N.Y." in Rainwater and Fuller. IP: Logged
