Bailey & Co. set of 4 coin silver open salts, gilt inside, with beaded motifs at the base and rim, with handles adorned with leaves. They measure 3 1/4'' from handle to handle by 2 1/2'' in height, weigh 7.7 troy ounces, and bear hallmarks and a monogram as shown.
Bailey & Kitchen, as it was originally known, was founded in Philadelphia in 1832, by Joseph Trowbridge Bailey (1806-1854) and Andrew B. Kitchen (died 1850). The partnership was dissolved in November 1846. It was reformed with new partners as Bailey & Co. in 1841, and on March 1, 1878, again re-established as Bailey Banks & Biddle. After 1870, they resold silver from a variety of manufacturers. At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States; its design today remains the official version of the seal.
