Description: A PAIR OF LETTERS BY NOTED AMERICAN SILVERSMITH THEODORE B. STARR THEODORE B. STARR (1837-1907). Starr was a noted American silversmith based in New York. A pair of autograph letters signed “Theodore B. Starr”, both on “Theodore B. Starr Diamonds & Sterling Silverware” stationery. In these August 1886 letters, Starr wrote to a customer named F. W. Ward of Burlington, Vermont, concerning the order of an engraved locket. a) ALS. 1pg. August 11, 1886. 206 Fifth Avenue, New York. An autograph letter signed “Theodore B. Starr”: “Dear Sir. – By National express today in answer to your note…I have much pleasure in sending to you for your examination three lockets, and two designs for monograms to be engraved. For a locket to be worn inside the dress I cannot recommend a raised monogram. It ought to be engraved. The engraving we will do without charge. A raised monogram made in a manner to match the work and finish of either of these lockets would cost about $15. Very truly yours Theodore B. Starr”. b) ALS. 1pg. August 13, 1886. 206 Fifth Avenue, New York. An autograph letter signed “Theodore B Starr”: “Dear Sir, The lockets returned to me as stated in your favor of yesterday have been received in good order this afternoon. I shall have the one you have selected engraved and will forward it to you on Monday. With it I will send several neck chains – there are a number of exceedingly pretty patterns from which I hardly know how to choose for you – so that you may make your own selection. The design of the monogram will be sent also. Yours truly Theodore B Starr”.
