Unger Brothers was located in Newark, New Jersey. Many of their wonderful Art Nouveau designs were inspired from the famous art work of Alphonse Mucha. William Unger was a partner of Thomas A. Edison from 1870-1872 in the Newark Telegraph Works. This firm was dissolved that year and the five brothers William, George, Frederick, Herman and Eugene Unger organized Unger Brothers for the manufacture and sale of pocket knives and hardware specialties. They began the manufacture of sterling silver hollow-ware and jewelry in 1878.
