Lot 2126b:
Description
Vintage oval counter mirror on adjustable stand advertising Stein-Bloch Co. Wholesale Tailors. In VG condition with spots of silver loss around the edge. Measures 20″ tall,13.5″ wide. Stein-Bloch & Co. was one of the first Rochester NY manufacturers to nationally advertise a line of suits and coats. It became a leader in the manufacture of high priced, high quality clothing. So skilled were the workers and craftsmen at Stein-Bloch that the company was once visited by President Andrew Johnson, formerly a tailor himself, who after his visit always wore clothes bearing the “Stein” name. Nathan Stein and Leopold Bloch remained partners for the rest of their careers, and passed away within months of each other in 1908. Stein-Bloch & Co. remained in business for forty-five years until merging with Fashion Park Clothes, Inc. in 1928.
