Morgan Silver Plate Company
American, 1887 - 1934
BiographyThe Morgan Silver Plate Company was organized in October in 1887 by James T. Morgan, who served as the firm’s general manager. The company built its own factory on the south side of the Mad River in 1887-1888, which it occupied until closing c. 1931. The company specialized in casket hardware. In 1900, it acquired T. S. Carroll’s champagne tap business. In 1930, Morgan offered over 30 casket handle designs, in more than forty finishes, including gold, nickel, and silver plating. All of the hardware pieces continued to be wrought by hand, and only the plating process was executed on a large scale. The operation did not survive the Great Depression and closed in 1934.
