Offered is a very rare pair of Southern coin silver teaspoons by Masi & Co., each bearing a period engraved script "CV" monogram, and each with an unrecorded early MASI&CO mark in a rectangular punch. The mark on these spoons is different from the later F. Masi & Co., mark for Frank Masi & Co., and possibly dates to his first partnership with his sons Vincent and Seraphim, circa 1825-26.

Offered is a very rare and early (circa 1820s-30s) Tennessee coin silver coffee spoon or small teaspoon by the father and son partnership of W. & S. Berson of Franklin. William Berson and his son Solomon worked together in Williamson County, Tennessee from 1833-1838. Judging by the style of this piece, they potentially worked together earlier than that. This spoon has an interesting period six-letter monogram - the longest I've seen. Presumably the original owners can be tracked down given... Click for details

Let's face it: after months and months of enduring the pandemic, you're probably ready for a drink and perhaps two. Might as well do it in style with this high quality antique julep cup.

Though other (albeit some slightly cheaper; some not) examples by Mr. Hudson have come on the market, none that I've seen have --at just shy of six (5.94) Troy ounces --been so heavy and well constructed. A few very minor dings but fine overall condition and monogrammed in period script as shown.... Click for details
