Myer Myers (1723–1795) was a silversmith who lived and worked in New York City. He was a Jewish-American of Ashkenazi origin[1] and a member of Congregation Shearith Israel, for whom be produced many works. Historians believe he was an apprentice of the Huguenot silversmith Charles le Roux (silversmith).[2] He registered as a Freeman in 1746, and partnered with Benjamin Halsted from 1756 to 1766 as Halsted & Myers.[2] 380 of his works survive in museums and private collections.[2]
