Description: Starr's Type Foundry: circa 1812 - circa 1817. New York. Formed by three of the Starr Brothers: Richard Starr and James Fosdick Starr, taking Edwin Starr (late of White's Type Foundry into partnership). Sold circa 1817 to D. & G. Bruce. { Annenberg, 230} (so the foundry's materials must have gone to Bruce, not to the next Starr foundry ( Reich, Starr & Co.)). Edwin Starr went on to the Boston Type Foundry. Richard Starr went on to the Reich, Starr & Co. James Fosdick Starr (d. 1833) seems to have gone on to a career as a stereotyper (Annenberg p. 115).
