The Mauser Manufacturing Company was founded in 1887 by Frank Mauser in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. In 1888 Frank O. Coombs became a partner in Frank Mauser & Co., working as designer and chaser. In the 1890s the firm moved to New York, changing its name to Mauser Mfg. Co. The factory was located in Mt. Vernon with a shop on 15th Street and, from 1904, in the more expensive Fifth Avenue store at the corner of 31st Street. In 1903 Mauser Mfg. Co purchased J.B. & S.M. Knowles (founded in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1875). Frank Mauser died in 1908 and the firm suffered a slow decline until the closure and the sale of the Fifth Avenue retail store in 1912. The Howard Sterling Company was founded in Providence in 1878 as H. Howard & Co by Hiram Howard, A.J. Scherrieble and Arnold Nicoud. They renamed themselves Howard & Scherrieble from 1879 to 1884, when the name changed to Howard & Son. In 1891 the firm changed to its final name, Howard Sterling Co, until around 1901 when it went out of business, although some of the patterns were sold to Roger Williams Silver Co. In 1891 they disposed of the electroplated goods branch of the business to Parks Bros. & Rogers. In 1913 the large Mount Vernon Company Silversmiths Inc. was formed, merging the assets of Hayes & McFarland (who had started in Mount Vernon in 1900) with those of Mauser and Roger Williams. World War I wreaked havoc on the industry, and after failing to recover their sales they were bought by Gorham in 1920, who continued to produce pieces under the Mount Vernon name until 1923.
