RO66P1 Cramer & Kemp Excelsior Matches Small Die Proof
$130.00
Located in New York City, the firm of Cramer & Kemp operated as a manufacturer of matches between 1864 and 1866, identified by their “Excelsior” brand during the competitive period of local match production before the consolidation of the industry by the Diamond Match Company. The partnership consisted of Frederick Cramer and Frederick Kemp. Although specific biographical details of the partners are scarce, Cramer & Kemp were part of a specialized group of smaller manufacturers producing localized brands like Excelsior Matches before the shift in market dynamics and the rise of larger national monopolies by the end of the century. The company’s operations came to an abrupt end in 1866 when its factory was destroyed by fire.
