Hi,
Neresheimer's mark, the Gothic N, is still alive.
Perhaps only I, but I never realized the name of Neresheimer is still going strong, beautiful silver work of high quality.

Re: Neresheimer
David Cooper Ogden Townsend Eldest son and second child of George Craft and Beulah Pancoast (Ogden) Townsend, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 30, 1851. He was educated in the public schools of his native city, and being only eighteen years of age when his father died, he engaged as a commercial salesman for a jewelry manufacturing house in Philadelphia, remaining with this concern until 1880, when he removed to New York City, and continued in the same line of enterprise until 1892, in which year he was admitted as a partner of E. August Neresheimer & Company, wholesale dealers and importers of diamonds, and at the end of five years he purchased the interests of E. August Neresheimer, and with Louis Neresheimer continued the business as Neresheimer & Company, his partner taking charge of the business in London, England, and Mr. Townsend retaining the management of the New York establishment. This partnership was terminated January 1, 1904, at which time the partnership of David C. Townsend & Company was formed, which became very well known and successful.
