The company became known as Starr and Marcus. Marcus left to join Tiffany \u0026amp; Co., in 1877. Starr bought back control of the company, with the name of the company reverting to Theodore B. Starr. The company was incorporated in 1907, by Starr's son. On 1\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e July, 1918, their stock was purchased by the silver firm of Reed and Barton.
