PERU: AR ingot (155.81g), well made vintage silver bar stamped CERRO / 999 on the face // CAMUSSO PERU stamped in small letters on the back, EF. The Camusso silver company was founded in 1933 in Lima, Peru by Italian silversmith Carlo Mario Camusso Grasso. He had arrived from Italy and started working in a metal factory. After leaving the factory he sought refuge for his health in Huacho, where he met artisan silversmiths who inspired him to start a business. Once restored, he brought his girlfriend from Italy and went to Lima in 1933 where he founded his workshop on Avenida Cuba de Jesús María. Camusso worked hard and formed the Carlo Mario Camusso S.A. in 1946, which rose to prominence in the local silver market where his name became synonymous with Peruvian silver all over the world.
