Many of these 14 were conglomerates of other companies through consolidations and mergers, and international Silver was founded by them all in1898. Each company kept its own company name and hallmarks, but they added the International Silver mark. Some of the merged companies included Rogers Brothers, H C Wilcox & Co. who eventually purchased Rogers Brothers, and, by the 1890s, International Silver had branches in Canada and London. The grouping of these smaller companies into the International Silver Company was the idea of Meriden Britannia to increase efficiency and could be marketed more aggressively in 1898, although Ashbil Griswold created the precursor of the idea in 1808.
