Philadelphia Teaspoon by James Peters with Rare Mark Variant

20230830-01   Sold


click for details
Offered is an interesting American coin silver teaspoon with a very rare mark variant for well-known Philadelphia silversmith James Peters; this is the only example of this mark I've observed. It's uncommon enough that no example was found for Catherine Hollan's book, despite many other Peters marks having been found. Perhaps this was a die that broke shortly after being introduced, or one not normally used on flatware. This teaspoon is engraved "MAW" in period script and has a legible... Click for details

The name Gorham immediately evokes Jabez Gorham of Providence, Rhode Island, and the legendary firm he founded.

The same surname, however, appears in the history of 18th and 19th century silversmithing in New Haven, Connecticut.

This minor dynasty included Miles Gorham, his son by the same name, and his nephew John, whose "J. Gorham" mark is imprinted on this lengthy, 8 7/8", 1.5 T. oz. coin silver spoon.

Offered is an interesting circa 1780 American coin silver spoon, perhaps by John Burger, or perhaps by John Benjamin (though it seems a few years too late for him), or another maker. The long drop on this spoon most resembles those on John Benjamin spoons (Burger's drops tend to be shorter and more pointed or cone shaped), adding to the mystery. This piece is struck twice with a maker's mark of I*B, and is engraved with a good period script monogram. This spoon measures about 4 5/8 inch... Click for details

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he worked as a silversmith in the 1820s, and apparently with a short-lived presence on Nantucket Island, Masschusetts, William P. Stanton established himself in business in 1829 with his brother, Henry, in Rochester, New York.

This pair of 5 3/4" long, .9 T. oz., coin silver tongs are marked "W.P. & H. Perry" for that partnership.

Their plain, angular, fiddle shaped arms date them from early in the partnership, c. 1830. Perhaps they were an old style... Click for details

Offered is a very nice English silver teaspoon dating to 1838, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign and the end of the Regency. This teaspoon is unusual in that there is a full, clear set of hallmarks but no maker's mark, and in that the spoon is in the Old English pattern with a block letter monogram - it may have been made specifically to replace a missing spoon from a late 18th Century flatware canteen. This spoon is initialed MC in period engraving. It measures about 5 1/2 inches in... Click for details
