Hebron, Connecticut circa 1804; the earliest example of American King's pattern which we have ever encountered. Welles, who later served as General in the War of 1812, worked alone in Hebron for only four years, 1804 to 1807, before moving to Boston and entering a partnership with his brother George. Born in 1782, he was in his early twenties when these spoons were made. They show extraordinary skill for a silversmith just recently out of apprenticeship. And while one always hesitates to l...

Up for bid is a very rare hollow handle coin silver roast carving set in what is often identified as the LOUIS XIV pattern by John Polhamus. It was actually patented by John C. Moore, and was produced by other makers. The knife is 13 1/8" long and the fork is 11 1/8".

In her benchmark work on coin silver marks, Louise Belden illustrates with narration the name that appears on this piece, A.W. McKown, but offers no place or date attributions. Given that it is also stamped "Pure Coin," a reasonable assumption is that it has New England origins. This item is an exquisitely made 8 5/8" long tablespoon. It weighs a substantial 2.1 T. oz., which results in a thick shank and heavy gauge bowl. The pattern is a fiddle tipt with an upraised end, a beveled handle, a... Click for details

At 7 1/4" long, this coin silver piece is a dessert or place spoon. It is marked "WwH" for Wood and Hughes, and although references suggest this mark was employed from 1871 onward, and "W&H" earlier, the design of this suggests 1860's or before. It weighs 1.0 T. oz. and has a broad, fiddle tipt end that seems more toward an Ohio Valley or Pennsylvania design than New York, so it is distinguished in this regard as well. It is inscribed "F.D. Baldwin" in script. The condition is immaculate. ... Click for details
