Samsan Manufacturing Co. was a member of the New England Association of Jewelers and Silversmiths. The eldest son, Louis Sammartino, worked for the company for many years, holding the positions of designer, production manager and marketing specialist, which contributed to its prosperity. In the late 1980s, jewelry production was stopped and the company was sold. The company originally produced silver jewelry with a gold plating, which was reflected in the hallmark, which included the name “Samsan” and an indication of the gold content, such as “1/20 12k G.F.”

The copyright mark first appeared in the mid-1950s, after which the marking changed to “SA” in a square and the copyright mark in another square. There was also a rectangular base with the “SA” mark and the copyright mark, which is often associated with Samsan Co., which is likely given the change of owners and designers over the years.
