New York circa 1837, length 6 3/4 inches, some slight tine and pattern wear but fine overall condition, monogrammed "W.B. Corning" (script, obverse). For those who are genealogically inclined the Corning name will no doubt provide countless hours of pleasure, and Mr. Ginochio himself must certainly be of interest, as an early Italian immigrant.
