These 7 1/2" tea knives are in fair condition. The silver blades are excellent and there are no repairs or cracks. The handles have many small dents. The reason for this is that the interior of the handle is a resin which shrinks over 150 years leaving a space between the silver & the resin. Each time they are dropped in a drawer, they dent. However, these are so hard to find we overlook some flaws. These were made by Albert Coles and retailed by E. Jaccard of St. Louis. Ca 1855.

This 10" long, 2.2 T. oz., coin silver cake saw remains with its original presentation case. The case is stamped "J. Brunner, Manufacturer of Silver Ware, 28 Maiden Lane, NY." The piece is also stamped "J. Brunner." Documentation on Brunner suggests he was a retailer only, so there is uncertainty whether the firm actually produced this. In any case, it is a quality example of 1860's applied medallion design in a desirable form. The figure is a youthful warrior with stars on his helmut (Mars... Click for details

This pair of coin silver tongs are quite remarkable, in that they are 10" long. This form was recently described in a "Silver Magazine" article, and described as olive tongs. They were made by Philadelphia's Peter L. Krider, and show all the quality associated with that fine maker. The style suggests Philadelphia in at least two regards. First is the intricate period engraving that is characteristic of mid 19th century style from that city. Secondly is the twist element on the arms. The ta... Click for details

This is a very wonderful large hotel silver platter by the International Silver Co. It has no hotel name on it which is sad, it is however marked by the maker with a 80 in a square, which I think means it was from the 1980's. It has some surface scratches, which is normal, but there is no corrosion at all. The piece definately speaks for itself. It has a boldness about it, and will add nice character to your collection. ~Enjoy!

This is a very extravagant piece of silver. I believe it to be coin silver due to the fact that it is marked 90 on the back, along with the letters GES. This piece is from the late 1800's to early 1900's and measures 12 in. long. This ladle is in wonderful condition for it age, having only minor dings and scratches that don't take away from the beauty of the piece. This is a very handsome piece that should be added to your collection today. ~Enjoy!

This "fiddlethread" tablespoon is 8 1/2" and is not in great condition. There are some bowl dents and a bowl bend and slight bowl wear. However, it would work very well with red beans and rice. It is marked "A.B. Griswold" and with another tiny mark that I can't make out. It's a usuable piece of silver.
