Myer Myers (1723-1795), a New Yorker was one of the most accomplished craftsmen working in pre-industrial America.  While Myers is not nearly as well known as Paul Revere, who worked in Boston, Myers, like Revere, is counted among a select group of highly respected merchant-artisans of the time. His work is found in major museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and Harvard University Art Galleries.

Caren Pauley is a Smithsonian trained museum professional who specializes in 18th century American silver when not oganizing the activities of the Harvard Club.
