Mauser was founded in 1887 by Frank Mauser in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. In 1888 Frank O. Coombs became a partner in Frank Mauser & Co. beginning his activity in the firm as designer and chaser. In the 1890s the firm moved to New York. It established a store on the celebrated Fifth Avenue. In 1913, the firm merged with Hayes & McFarland Company of Mount Vernon, NY, and the Roger Williams Silver Company of Providence, RI, forming Mt. Vernon Company Silversmiths, which was ultimately purchased by the prestigious maker Gorham in 1920.
