Soldering a handle to a piece of pewter



The photographer has marked this negative as “Cardinal Cushing silver” but in fact this is a photo of the James Cardinal Gibbons silver made in 1911 by Stieff.



A photo to be used in a Stieff catalog



This is a photo contact sheet that has been marked up, and trace lines placed around the pieces to be cut out and used in a Stieff catalog or ad. This is from the days long before todays “cut and paste” computer editing. Note production comments on the right side.
