In the early 19th century, New York was the country's biggest port. Accordingly, many silver retailers and manufacturers were based there, including Charles Louis Tiffany and John B. Young, who established the prestigious Tiffany & Co. The Roy J. Zuckerberg Hall of American Silver at the New York Historical houses a large collection of these early silver items, offering a unique look at early New York history.

The collection includes approximately 120 items. Among them are both practical pieces, like silverware, plates, and items for serving coffee or tea, plus more decorative items like awards, trophies, and even a sword and scabbard. Highlights of the collection include the oldest teapot made in New York and a special punch bowl made by Tiffany and Co. to celebrate the opening of the Woolworth Building.
