Certain features of the process may be deduced from price distribution functions derived from Sears Roebuck and Company catalogues. It is found that the dispersion in logarithm of catalogue prices of a given year has remained about constant independently of the year for over 75 years.

Many new unpublished and and previously misattributed marks are included. Also there is significant new information about makers and retailers in New York City from the early to mid 19th century. From the Publisher: Although precious metals have been part of the lives of New Yorkers since the city"s founding until now comparatively little has been written about them. These two volumes examine the precious metals trades and usage of precious metals artifacts since the third quarter of the 17th century through the excellent collection at the Museum of the City of New York that contains more than 1400 objects of silver and other precious metals including hollowware flatware and jewelry made sold or owned in New York.
