There was a US destroyer named the USS Taussig. Can we get a clearer pic of the legend?

Quote:
William Taussig & Co. was listed in 1850 as a New York purse manufacturer. By 1852 Taussig had begun producing a wide range of leather goods for both the military and the California gold rush trade: belts, gloves, holsters, money belts, gold bags, etc. In order to capitalize on the new Western market, the firm opened a branch in San Francisco. A new partnership resulted in Taussig, Pollack & Co. in 1855, and the following year they became Pollack Bros., "importers of fancy goods and watches." Produced for civilian wear in the goldfields.

From a metal detecting site; the emblem of this firm is found on various buckles and clasps found throughout the Gold Rush region. Though this piece states New York instead of San Francisco, and Taussig takes second billing to another partner (could it be "Pollak?"), I think you'll find the eagle is identical to Taussig, Pollack & Co.--
