F. W. Schultz & Son F. W. Schultz & Son

F. W. Schultz & Son

As with so many other western assayers (or engravers, Schultz may have been either) of the middle and late 19th century, given the fact that this field of research is so new it should not be surprising that there are few facts about this assayer beyond what can be read on the commemorative ingot presented in our previous John J. Ford, Jr. Collection. The single known bar bearing the name of F. W. Schultz & Son is purely a decorative object, one might almost say a jewelry item, with no pretense whatsoever to being a monetary ingot with a presentation inscription or a keepsake of a new mine’s output. Mr. A. Bateman’s friends got together and had a nice presentation plaque made for him by the assayer (or engraver) F.W. Schultz using silver that must have had some special meaning to Bateman. The friends presented the gift to Bateman on Christmas day, 1862. That much the single survivor tells.
