Durgin FAIRFAX ice tongs
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
1384153 $195.00
length 6 1/2 inches, weight 2.23 Troy ounces. There has been an erasure to one arm (see third photo) but it was exceptionally well done.
Frequent guests of our little web page know that it is extremely unusual for us to offer items with removed monograms, but this is subtle, and also a tantalizing price, we think.

Kirk KING tea knives, twelve,
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2328 $525.00
length 6 1/8 inches, total Troy weight 17.85 Troy ounces, fine condition, monogrammed "m". These are delightfully heavy in the hand, and so thick that they're marked on the side (see fifth enlargement).
What could you do with them? Well, I for one would be ecstatic if served an appetizer of duck liver paté in a little ramekin with a very elegant silver knife. But then again, I'd probably also be pretty happy to see this even without one. For our purposes here, however, please choose... Click for details

Bigelow, Kennard "Oval Thread" c. 1870 Sterling Silver Fish Slice
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends
3532f This item is currently being auctioned
Relatively large at 11 1/8" long, and weighty at 3.6 T. oz., this fish slice traces to the transition period between coin and sterling silver. Marked "Bigelow Bros. & Kennard" for the prominent Boston firm, "Sterling," and with an "E," which is probably a journeyman's mark, it dates about 1870. The pattern is an "Oval Thread" with an Old English "C.E.P." monogram engraved sideways on the handle front. The blade is atypical in that it is entirely flat whereas the usual fish slice has a...

ANTIQUE IVY ENGRAVED serving spoons, pair of,
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2326 $120.00
length 8 5/8 inches, weight 3.9 Troy ounces, monogrammed "B", outstanding original condition, marked "Shreve Crump & Low" with 925 in oval.
Though not a "first demand" pattern, the Antique Ivies were made by several manufacturers, and involved extensive skill and hand work to produce. Expensive when first sold, they are members of a dying breed, as most flatware of this quality has now been consigned to the melting pot. This handsome pair was given as a twenty-fifth wedding anniversary gift... Click for details

Watrous sterling tea ball number 16
Silver : Sterling : Smalls
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2325 $75.00
pleasantly rotund and sturdy, this weighs just shy of one Troy ounce (.98) and is in excellent condition, with a fully functional hinge and a clasp which snaps shut properly.
Though it may only win second prize in a beauty contest, the price is attractive and we've certainly seen uglier ones.
For those of you who like comparison shopping, check item 192469545712 on the Bay of Eees, which weighed not even half as much and measured a mere inch an a quarter in diameter.

Franklin Porter hand wrought sterling shotglass
Silver : Sterling : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2322 Sold
height 2; top diameter 1 3/4 inches, weight 2.4 Troy ounces, no monogram, marked as shown in third enlargement, some very minor insults to foot but fine overall condition.
As mentioned elsewhere on these pages, Porter's work is of inconsistent quality. Here, the soldering is a bit sloppy and the hammering is rather random. So let's just consider that part of the charm, if we may.
