Coffin-end serving spoon, c1810-15 -- no shoulders, no drop, light reverse rib, feathered script mono G on front; 8-7/8" long. Condition is excellent, near mint. We bought this piece several months ago: Warner, should be a snap to find him; probably Delaware, right? Maybe Philadelphia -- maybe a stray southern maker. Well, maybe, but we haven't located him yet. Will keep looking.

Mustard ladle, c1810-20 -- This is a 4-3/4"-long piece with an extraordinarily long (2-1/2") fiddle; it has square shoulders and a tiny (3/4") oval bowl. Mono, as shown, is T E C in feathered script. One would think that a smith, or a partnership of smithies, with a 3-letter mark would be easy to find. Not so. We went thru the B's in Kovel and other silver books to no avail. Then we did the same with the A's, thinking it might be a 3-person partnership. Still no luck. Shame, that. It's a... Click for details

This gravy ladle is 7" and in excellent condition. There are no dents or repairs. The pattern is Tuscan. It is marked "King & Brother". Although there are several Kings, I can't find a brother. It also has an interesting raised eagle that must have been part of the Tuscan die and is probably a manufacturers mark or possibly a journeyman's mark which I am also unable to identify. Ca 1850/55.

Quite an early, robust marrow scoop with crisp clear hallmarks, for London 1739, maker John Jacob. The earlier scoops did tend to be heavier but, due to age, did suffer from rubbed, illegible hallmarks. That is what is so exciting, if one could find marrow scoops exciting, about this example. It has all the features you desire: good age, good gauge, good marks. Dimensions: 8.75" long. 2 Troy.oz.
