Description:
The inventor was a partner in Lippiatt, Maltby & Morse, a maker of silver-plate items from 1869. The following year it appears that Maltby left the business, and with new partners they re-organized as the Lippiatt Silver Plate & Engraving Co. That firm patented a process for producing matte-finished silverplate but the business only lasted another year, with the company filing a lawsuit against Thomas Lippiatt. We do not know any details of what transpired. Also worth noting: Morse would go on to be president of the Lippiatt Silver Plate & Engraving Co., and he was none other than Samuel F. B. Morse, co-inventor of the telegraph and creator of Morse code.
