Collins & Brother, New York

In 1834 Benjamin and Stacy Collins restarted the bankrupt Collins and Hannay firm as B. and S. Collins. John Keese joined the firm in 1836 and the name was changed to Collins, Keese & Company.

Chronologically this house thereafter became Collins, Brother & Company, Collins & Brother, Robert B. Collins and then Collins & Brother again. In 1884 the latter company was succeeded by Charles Collins when Robert B. Collins retired.
