I put this 6 3/8" sauce ladle in the early 19th century catagory because coffin ends were usually made then. However, I believe this piece was made in the 1840's, probably custom made, to go with some already existing coffin end spoons. It is marked "P. Dickinson" in a serrated rectangle. See "Belden" page 135 "other marks known". The condition is excellent, no dents or breaks. Ca 1845.

These 6 7/8" dessert forks are in a pattern I loosely call "Bead". There are several variations of this pattern including the following set which is slightly different at the tip of the handle. This one has a fluer de lis. These are made by "Bailey & Co." Interestingly these are also sterling, having Baileys mark (lion, S, shield) for sterling. Ca 1855.

These nice little spoons(5 3/8") are in excellent condition. I consider these coffin ends. They have interesting sharp shoulders similar to the English style (I suppose that has to do with a McFarlane making them). They are marked "JM'F". John McFarlane, Boston. Ca 1805/10.

I consider these 5 3/8" teaspoons coffin ends, although they don't have the corner cuts. They are squared as most coffin ends are. One bowl has a wrinkle in it and another has some dents, but the tip wear is minimal. I believe the "W. Moulton" mark to be that of William Moulton IV. Ca 1810.

This 10" water pitcher weighs 31 Tr Oz. and is in excellent condition. It is hand hammered with 2 bands of flowers at the base and under the neck. It is engraved "Presented to Esak Saunders a token of esteem, Jan, 1st, 1833". I believe this pitcher is possibly older than this date because of the style. It's possibly a New England piece again due to it's style.

My favorite of the early patterns, this single struck "Kings" serving spoon is 8 3/4". It has no pattern on the back. However, it has an eleven lobe shell on the back of the bowl. The condition is excellent with no dents and a crisp pattern. Even the shell on the back of the bowl is good. It is marked "T&H" with pseudo hallmarks for Taylor & Hinsdale. Ca 1815/20.

Actually the bowl is not worn but part of the flat rim is worn slightly. It is marked "JW&Co". This is possibly James Ward of Hartford, Ct. but I'm not sure. Ca 1810.

I think these 7 to 8" ladles (several follow) with fairly large bowls are for gravy. They are larger, especially the bowls, than the traditional sauce ladle. Of, course either could be used for gravy or sauce (more semantics). Certainly no one wants to admit eating gravy nowdays. But there is great pressure to lable stuff. Enough said, you may use them as you see fit. This one is 7 3/8" long and in beautiful condition. The pattern is "Tuscan". It is Marked "Ball Thompkins & Black", "Patent... Click for details

It's in excellent condition. The engraved decoration is crisp and the bowl is good. It is marked N. Harding and "coin". Ca 1860/65.
