Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Old Friends 
4432f $315.00
Prominent and prosperous, William Adams was a 19th century New York City citizen, craftsman, and civic leader of note. Born in Albany in 1802, references locate him working at several New York addresses beginning in 1829, where he served as that city's chairman of the Board of Aldermen 1842-43, with six years, 1844-50, spent in Troy, NY. Recipient of "numerous awards and important commissions," (Waters, Elegant Plate), he is particularly remembered as the maker, 1841, of the... Click for details

coin silver salver, Welles & Gelston, Boston circa 1820
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver 
2413 $950.00
diameter, 8.5"; height .75"; weight 14.0 oz. Troy; a few minor scratches and dents but excellent overall condition, no monogram, marked as shown in fifth enlargement.
Some similarities such as the ring-matte chasing (see second photo) exist between this and China Trade items which were imported to Boston during an albeit slightly later time frame, (see Forbes, figures 41 and 153), which along with the four toed feet and overall chunky-ness of this item leads me to wonder if Messr's Welles...

Bruce Cherner Antique Silver 
2411 $1,250.00
Edward Holland Hastings was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on February 1, 1857. This dramatic christening cup from the gentleman whom we presume to be his uncle, Edward M. Holland, presaged a distinguished career as owner and impresario.
After spending a year at Cambridge High School, he prepared for four years at Philip Academy in Exeter, NH. Immensely popular with his schoolmates, he was elected class president and entered Harvard upon graduation. Illness prevented him from... Click for details

Pitman coin silver cream jug
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver 
2337 On Hold
height 7 1/8 inches, weight 5.52 Troy ounces, fine condition, monogrammed as shown in third enlargement.
This mark is commonly given to Saunders Pitman, but we are not so certain that it is his. For example, though the Met attributes a cream jug in their collection (accession number 33.120.311) to Saunders, some might consider this attribution to be problematic, since he'd been dead for a good solid forty years when it was made.
Other reasonable possibilities would include John K.... Click for details

Gorham coin silver cream jug model number 70
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver

engine turned decoration and C scroll handle with integral cast floral support, height 4 3/4 to top and 5 3/4 inches across handle to spout, weight 6.92 Troy ounces, some minor dents and unhappy handle join (shown in fourth enlargement) but very good looking nonetheless. Engraved "Mary Mitlacker Brehme / From her Grandmother."
We have always been fond of Gorham's first high style designs, especially those in the manner of Mary Todd Lincoln's tea service.

Cornelia Anna Ritch christening cup
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver 
2264 $350.00
Cornelia Anna Ritch (1847-1916) may well have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. We know for sure that at the age of six, she had a fine looking coin silver cup in her hand.
Her great great great grandfather, Henry Ritch, was among the original settlers of Greenwich, CT, having received a grant of three acres there on May 19th, 1686. Her family has always been among the town’s leading citizens, comprising notable attorneys, quarry owners, and the first successful oyster... Click for details

Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Old Friends 
3164f $345.00
Dating from 1866 as engraved on the sidewall below the name "C.E. Mathews.," this coin silver mustard pot was made by Gorham. That company's "standing lion, anchor, G" mark appears on the underside of the base, along with the model number "510." It is a large, well-proportioned, and handsome item. Standing 4 1/4" high, it rests on a pedestal base that is 2" in diameter. The maximum span to the end of the handle is approximately 3 1/4" and the weight is just above 4.5 T. oz. The...

Krider & Biddle, Philadelphia, Bright Cut Coin Silver Mug
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Old Friends 
2750f $125.00
One of Philadelphia's most prominent 19th century silversmiths, Peter L. Krider operated as sole manufacturer and in several partnerships over his career. This mug is stamped with the "crossed K & B" symbol for the "Krider & Biddle" partnership, along with the model number "433." There has been some difference of opinion about the exact dates of this pairing. The most recent, and likely most reliable, scholarship on Philadelphia silversmiths has been offered in a volume by Catherine... Click for details

Early Amercan helmet cream jug, Abraham DuBois
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver 
2216 $875.00
Philadelphia circa 1795, with applied beaded border, square base, sunken center and handle offset to the corners, height 6 3/4 to top of spout; base 2 1/2 inches, weight 5.70 Troy ounces, monogrammed I * A on foot.
There is some rather sloppy soldering on the beaded border beneath the spout (I do not believe this to be a repair) which we show in agonizing detail, see image four, and the overall color indicates that there may have been either a removal or some machine polishing at one... Click for details
