Kohler & Ritter were successors to Fred Reichel in San Francisco in 1867. Both worked as silversmiths with Reichel, and Gotthard Kohler was Reichel's manger. Gotthard Kohler's relationship with Gold Rush assayer F. D. Kohler is unknown. Kohler & Ritter silver are found with two different hallmarks, a "K & R" and "Kohler & Ritter" This group of rare early San Francisco silver has 4 pieces marked K&R and six pieces marked Kohler & Ritter. Of the K & R pieces, there is a dinner fork, tea spoon, and two serving pieces, a berry spoon and a fish fork?, both about 9" long. The Kohler & Ritter prices are 5 teaspoons and a very large soup ladle (14"). These are some of the few known such marked pieces. HWAC# 49148 Date: Location: San Francisco, California
