Per Ledlie Irwin Laughlin, Pewter in America: Its Makers and Marks, (Boston, MA: Barre Publishers, 1969), p. 128, evidence suggests that Boardman pewter was never made in New York but rather stamped at the Hartford factory with the touches reserved for the New York shop and later shipped to the city.
