Biographyhttp://www.chicagosilver.com/tc.htmEmery W. Todd left the Kalo Shop around 1910, and joined with (Ms.) Clemencia C. Cosio to start the TC Shop (for Todd and Cosio). Cosio designed pieces that Todd executed. The TC Shop also commissioned Matthias Hanck to fabricate items for them. According to Chicago Metalsmiths, the TC Shop closed its doors in 1928. Cosio married, and became a salesperson for Knut Gustafson's Chicago Silver Company, while Todd taught jewelry-making at the Chicago Art Institute.
The TC Shop mark is an overlapping T and C, and appears sometimes alone, and sometimes with the words "HAND WROUGHT" and "CHICAGO." On some items the mark says "The [TC mark] Shop." Note that their mark is sometimes confused with the personal mark of Charles Thomae.
