I have exhausted my sources of information and would like to know if anyone has information on G.A. Mudge and co. This is the only mark on a very nice crumber that I have. It does have a inscription on the handle " Silver Wedding " 1863.

Thank you for any information.

Thank you wev and bascall. I can't believe I missed this in the genaealogy website. I guess I was fixated on him being a retailer the way his mark looked. I apologize for such an easy miss. Roger

He seems to be listed as a jeweler, not a silversmith. Am I mistaken? That would make him a retailer, though I would imagine he did things like the engraving on this.

George A Mudge is listed as a salesman, jeweler and silverware dealer in Boston Directories. I take him as a retail jeweler myself, so his company was probably the retailer of this piece and not the maker or manufacturer.

Yes Kimo, that's where he is listed. Well I've learned more than I expected. I tend to move a little too fast through things at times. Need to be a little more careful with my searches.So his mark is probably that of a retailer, as a jeweler, and it makes sense that they would have engraved the piece with the Silver Anniversary and date at the shop. Again, that was an easy one I shouldn't have missed, but thanks for your patience and help.
