Edward Charles Eisengart (1874-1957), was born in Germany, son of Johann Eisengart (1852-1913), and Catherine Beck Eisengart (1854-1931). His family migrated to Americawhen he was an infant.

In 1888, he worked as a plate mill roller for A. M. Byers & Company. At this time he was a coin, stamp, and curio collector and dealer on the side and more than a decadelater held at least two known coin auction sales.

He married Aimee Lambie (1876-1958)

Eisengart was an advertiser in The Numismatist in 1900 as E. C. Eisengart & Son, himself only 26 years old.

He was member No. 424, in the American Society of Curio Collectors (A. S. of C. C. ).

Eisengart held monthly coin auctions in 1904 in the first few months.

In February 1906 a public notice ran in the A. S. of C. C. Bulletin on page 17 that Eisengart has gone out of the coin business. Apparently not a life decision.

In the February 1909 issue of The Numismatist he is listed as an applicant for membership.

In 1910, he lived at 253 Charles Street, Mt. Oliver Station, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

In 1940, he lived in Etna, Pennsylvania.
