Own a piece of American silver history! Most of the American silversmiths were located on the east coast. This is a rare opportunity to buy early California silver.

When James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848, California became the golden state. In 1859, gold miners were working claims in nearby Nevada and found the famous Comstock Lode. This discovery linked Nevada and California and fueled the growth of the "Silver Kings" of San Francisco.
