The International Silver Company was incorporated in 1898 in Meriden, Connecticut (The Silver City) by a number of independent New England silversmiths. The silversmiths who had set up small shops in Connecticut realized they could all work more efficiently and supply the demands of the public better by combining into one organization.
The history of the International Silver Company and its predecessors is a history of America's Silversmithing. International Silver Company ceased making sterling hollowware in 1976.
Sterling silver is a white and highly reflective precious metal. Sterling refers to silver that is 92.5 percent pure, which should be stamped on the metal, sometimes accompanied by the initials of the designer or country of origin as a hallmark. Although less durable than stainless steel and other precious metals, sterling silver is often employed in watches that coordinate or look like sterling jewelry.
