Schall & Company [Krauss Co.]

A number of different companies were known to have produced pewter moulds. In the United States, two major competing firms arose. First on the scene in 1854 was Schall & Co. located in New York. This company became the Krauss Co. in 1860.

Schall & Co., another American enterprise made similar molds, also with the soldered hinge. Their pieces were identified with S & Co. And as with Eppelsheimer, their molds are marked with catalog numbers.

Later Schall & Co. became Krauss. Krauss employed molded hinges, which were thought to be superior to the soldered type employed by other companies.
