While silversmiths specialize in, and principally work, silver, they also work with other metals such as gold, copper, steel, and brass. They make jewelry, silverware, armor, vases, and other artistic items. Because silver is such a malleable metal, silversmiths have a large range of choices with how they prefer to work the metal. Historically, silversmiths are mostly referred to as goldsmiths, which was usually the same guild. In the western Canadian silversmith tradition, guilds do not exist; however, mentoring through colleagues becomes a method of professional learning within a community of craftspeople.

They make things out of silver: silverware, silver teapots,

(chains, bracelets, necklaces etc.)

I am sorry to tell you, not much. With the scramble for sterling, the silver plate is being chucked to one side at a furious pace. Also the housing bust did not help. Here in Florida the Goodwills, Salvation Army and thrift stores are filled to the brim with silver plated flatware. The best way to sell, is in pieces on ebay. A nice silver plated flatware set with serving pieces are common at 25.00 to 100.00

mixture of sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid . this mixture is known as king of acids or tejab(hindi) . everything dissolves in it except gold and silver and glass .

A Blacksmith and Silversmith are alike because, they both work with silver (of course Silversmiths work with it more) and they use the same methods to melting the silver or metal.

In Ancient Egypt goldsmiths belonged to the middle class. Their status was related to the patron for whom they worked which might include the Pharaoh, the temple builders or the upper class. Gold was primarily used for objects of personal adornment and as a decorative coating (leaf) on objects of copper or wood. Goldsmiths were usually born into the trade as the skills were passed down within families. More rarely, a boy from outside the family would be apprenticed to the trade. Craftsmen in metal generally did not restrict their production to one metal, such as gold, but would likely have also worked other metals such as silver, bronze and copper.

Silversmiths used many tools such as the graver, hammer, ladle, refining furnace, shears, and tongs.

A career that Oscar Goldsmith never attempted before was a teacher. He had attempted medicine and law before becoming a writer.

Historically, silversmiths would either charge for their services as a percentage of the value of the silver in the piece, or for more predictable wares they would have a flat fee. For example: Charles Oliver Bruff in 1767 New York charged three shillings per ounce of silver used in a tankard or a flat twenty shilling for a soup spoon. This was in America when it was a British Colony. The wages and social status of a silversmith depend greatly on the time period and culture but they generally have occupied upper-middle class status.

I don't believe the Saalfield company was started until 1900, and I believe the original publisher was American Publishing Company. Although, I believe it was published first in Brittan by Chatto and Windus due to due to copyright difficulties. However, it is possible my research is wrong, so verify for yourself as well.

The blacksmith made all sorts of useful items from black metal- that is, iron and steel. The name of his craft distinguished him from people that worked in other metals- brass, tin, silver, or gold. The blacksmith would make such items as hinges, chains, agricultural tools (axes, hoes, saws), and cooking equipment, suck as spits, grates, and cranes (used to hold a pot above a fire). Some smiths made military equipment, such as knives, shields, helmets, spear and arrow heads, pikes, and armor. One of the special types of smith was the sword smith, who had learned the difference between iron and steel, and how to harden and temper a sword.

Yes. Although the United States never had a national system of standards for apprenticeships, European traditions of apprenticeships were brought over by colonists and remained largely intact until the advent of the industry.

Paul Revere -- The first recorded American silversmith was Thomas Howard, who lived in Jamestown in 1620. Although Boston boasted twenty-four silversmiths by 1776, including Paul Revere, much of the silver in America's early years was imported from England.
