One of my favorites. 1849 Norris, Gregg & Norris
The partnership of Norris, Gregg & Norris was founded in New York City as a manufacturing and engineering concern specializing in metal pipes, fittings, boilers, etc., used in plumbing and steam-heating of public buildings. The partners were Thomas H. Norris, Charles Gregg, and Hiram A. Norris, and the firm relocated to the San Francisco area in 1849, following the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill the previous year. The firm began issuing private gold coinage shortly after its arrival.
