In 1880 Robert was working as a shoe manufacturer, living with his wife, Mary, and their newborn son, Robert Ensko II.SilverRobert started a family business of making modern reproductions of antique silver in New York and he authored a book: Makers of Early American Silver in 1915. Joslin Hall writes:In this work Ensko was attempting to list known and unknown makers of American silver, their locality and working dates. He lists marks where they are known, and ... concedes the honor of being the first book of marks of American silversmiths to [the] French because Ensko does not actually picture reproductions of the marks themselves, but simply lists them. He also includes several lists of unknown marks, including a group of pieces from the Clearwater Collection, and asks the readers to send him any information they might have. An exceedingly interesting seminal study of American silversmiths. [5]His son Stephen Guernsey Cook Ensko (1896-1969) would eventually publish three more editions of the book, and his granddaughter Dorothea Charlotte Ensko (1920- ) would publish an additional one.
