<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 165298, member: 44&quot;]The maker&#039;s mark on the 2nd set of cufflinks appears to be a shirt stud. Larter &amp; Sons of NYC used a shirt stud as their trademark. again not sure if these are by Larter because your cufflinks may be too recent??? I have two 14K gold with diamond spring-loaded studs by Larter that date from 1905-1920. They were my father&#039;s. They probably came in a set of 3.</p><p>Top of 2nd column</p><p><a href="http://jarrett.fabpage.com/jewelrytm12.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jarrett.fabpage.com/jewelrytm12.htm" rel="nofollow">http://jarrett.fabpage.com/jewelrytm12.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have the following info about Larter &amp; Sons in my database with the gold &amp; diamond studs:</p><p><br /></p><p>Larter &amp; Son were noted for their men&#039;s accessories. &quot;Larter &amp; Sons was founded in 1865 and made distinctive cufflinks, dress sets and gentlemen&#039;s jewelry during the late Victorian era and first few decades of the last century.&quot; From the Larter &amp; Son website: &quot;The Larter &amp; Sons corporation originated from the company Larter, Elcox &amp; Co., which was founded in 1865. Larter, Elcox &amp; Co. had an office location in New York City on Maiden Lane and a factory located on Parkhurst Street in Newark N.J. The business developed enormously under the management of Frederick H. Larter, who in 1905 bought out all interests in the firm and formed a partnership with his sons, then changing the company&#039;s name to Larter &amp; Sons. In the early thirties, sales manager George A. Schuetz, Sr. bought a majority interest in the company. Under the continued leadership of George Schuetz, the company continued to grow throughout the next few decades.&quot; According to the above history, Larter didn&#039;t adopt the name Larter &amp; Son until 1905.</p><p><a href="http://www.nationaljeweler.com/independents/2071-us-manufacturer-lartersons-has-shut-down" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nationaljeweler.com/independents/2071-us-manufacturer-lartersons-has-shut-down" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationaljeweler.com/independents/2071-us-manufacturer-lartersons-has-shut-down</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: forgot to insert zoomed in pics of the trademark.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]45308[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
