The Knickerbocker Silver Company (of Port Jervis, New York) was the successor to J.A Babcock who ceased trading in 1894. The Babcock name continued to be used for a few years before transitioning to the Knickerbocker name sometime before 1904 (most sources say c.1900) until taken over by the Crescent Silverware Manufacturing Company in 1962. They only made silverplate and base metal ware.
