Antique Mauser Mfg. Co. Pair of Sterling Silver Decanters; Up for sale is the pair of sterling silver decanters made by the Mauser Manufacturing Company, dated late 19^th, early 20^th century.

Each decanter has a protruding body, a thin neck and a stopper, and is elegantly hand chased with floral and geometric motifs in relief. There are slight differences among those motifs between the two decanters. The bottoms of both decanters are marked with “Mauser Mfg. Co.”, “Sterling”, “925/1000 Fine”, together with the Unicorn trademark. Notably, the pair of decanters with no glass parts are totally made in silver. Except being used as decanters, they can be used for other purposes, like to be as vases, or as salad dressing cruets.

Mauser Mfg. Co. was a silversmith firm founded in 1887 by Frank Mauser as Frank Mauser & Co. in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. In 1890, the firm moved to New York City and in 1893, it was reorganized as the Mauser Manufacturing Company. Beginning in 1897, Mauser advertised with a unicorn trademark to stand for sterling value, originality of design and artistic workmanship. In 1913, the Mauser Mfg. Co. merged with Hayes & McFarland Company and Roger Williams Silver Company, forming Mt. Vernon Company Silversmiths, which was purchased by the Gorham Corporation in 1920 continuing production under its name until 1923.
