Early Tennessee Coffee Spoon by William & Solomon Berson of Franklin

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

Offered is a nice early 19th Century American coin silver spoon by Martin Moses (b. 1793 - d. 1893), who was working in Worcester, MA circa 1807 but by 1815 had moved to Somers, NY. By 1818 he had moved back to Massachusetts, but would return to NY state again later in his career. This spoon would seem to date to either his Worcester or Somers periods by style. It has a period engraved script monogram and a good clear strike of his maker's mark, one of several he used, and perhaps the... Click for details

Offered is a nicely preserved pair of heavy American coin silver teaspoons from the 1850s or 1860s, with a retailer's mark of J. Hyman - I'm not sure if that mark is one used by the jeweler Joseph Hyman of Portsmouth, Virginia, the Joseph Hyman working later in San Francisco, or another J. Hyman somewhere else. In any event, this pair of Olive pattern type teaspoons measures about 6 1/4 inches in length, and weighs a total of 45 grams. Condition is excellent, with no issues noted. Each spoon...

These six, matched, coin silver, spoons are marked "Gorham & Webster," for a partnership that traces to 1831-37.

This period demarcated a turning point in the history of Gorham, defining the pivotal time when the company began its ascendency as a premier silver manufacturing firm.

It bears citing Charles Carpenter's passage in Gorham Silver 1831-1981 about this partnership:
