Blanchard Dominick, a descendant of George Dominick, French Huguenot, who came to America in 1740, and Leroy B. Haff, who first entered the silversmithing business in 1867, joining the retail department of William Gale & Son, silversmiths established in New York in 1821. In their early days Dominick and Haff devoted themselves to the manufacture of relatively small pieces. They were renowned for the quality of their vinaigrettes, chatelaines, and other fancy articles. Following a disastrous fire in 1877, Dominick & Haff moved to a new factory and began to manufacture a wide array of articles in silver, small and large. The sequence of firm names upon Dominicks entering the silver business is complex. Gale & North (1860) became Gale, North & Dominick (1868); then Gale, Dominick & Haff (1870); Dominick & Haff (1872); and Dominick & Haff, Inc. (1889). Finally, Dominick & Haff, Inc., was sold to Reed & Barton in 1928, and consolidated within that firm........Provenance: A Daniel Island, South Carolina Private Collection.....2818 grams just the sterling and With Box Measures 19x12x4.75 and the weight is 14 Pds....
