In 1864 he was joined by Herman Marcus, and the company became known as Starr and Marcus. Marcus left to join Tiffany in 1877, and Starr bought back control of the company, with the name of the company becoming Theodore B. Starr. The company was incorporated in 1907 by Starr's son, before being purchased in 1918 by Reed and Barton, a silver company, and finally closing in 1923. Starr encouraged Henry Schrady to launch miniature bronzes as the company could launch and sell copies. The bronzes made by Schrady were among the first in the United States to use the lost wax process. It was in Starr's Gallery that Karl Bitter first saw Schrady's work, and he hired him to make larger versions of his moose and buffalo moose sculptures at the exhibition. Pan-American from 1901. A cast of bull moose can be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Theodore B. Starr also sold bronze casts by Henri Crenier and was the dealer for Solon Borglum's work.
