There can be no doubt that Ball, Black & Co. was the leading jewelry house in the nation until it was overtaken by Tiffany & Co. From the beginning, it was entrusted with important commissions of jewelry and silverware. When the firm moved to its new building at 247 Broadway in 1848, it was equipped with some of the first large plate glass windows, perfect for the display of goods.
