Mug with uniquely American agricultural motif
Silver: Coin Silver: Hollowware
North Hill Antiques 
786 $600
In 1825, the Erie Canal opened, sending to NYC and beyond the agricultural riches of Ohio and ultimately the entire midwest. For 10 years -- from 1825-35 -- this cornucopia was celebrated in the arts, including the art of silvermaking. The basket-of-flowers and sheaf-of-wheat flatware patterns are examples; so too is this mug with its band of farm produce and equipment -- corn-filled wagon, barn, windmill, beehives, farm house, corn crib, scythe, rake, and a sheaf-of-wheat design repeated 10 t...

Charles Hall, Lancaster, Pa, 18th C. Coin Silver Spoon
Silver: Coin Silver: 18th and Early 19th Century
Old Friends 
1638du $ 175
In her work, "Silversmiths of Lancaster, Pennsylvannia, 1730-1850," Vivian Gerstell describes Charles Hall (1742-1783) as a "prominent citizen as well as silversmith." She further remarks that he "played a prominent role in Lancaster during the Revolution. In 1774, he was a member of the Committee of Correspondence and of the Committee of Observation." This modest, and rather primitive looking, small spoon bears his identified "C. Hall" on the reverse, along with a second mark which is illegib... Click for details

Early 19th C. Isaac Reed Large Coin Silver Tongs
Silver: Coin Silver: 18th and Early 19th Century
Old Friends 
1573f $ 85
Documented as working in Frankford, Pennsylvania c. 1800-20, and subsequently in nearby Philadelphia, Isaac Reed was the maker of this 6 3/4" long, 1.1 T. oz., pair of coin silver tongs. In addition to having his personal mark, "I. Reed," imprinted on the inside of each arm, they carry what John McGrew describes in his work on pseudo hallmarks as the "Philadelphia eagle." The style suggests a date from early in his career. The have plain, convex, fiddle shaped arms, have a broad arch with poi... Click for details

Griswold "Tipt End" Coin Silver Teaspoon
Silver: Coin Silver: 18th and Early 19th Century
Old Friends 
1524f $ 22
There are a surprisingly large number of coin silver makers with the surname of Griswold. Marked simply with that name, this one was likely produced by Gilbert, born 1788 and worked in Middleton and later Portland, Connecticut, including c. 1820 in partnership with his brother William. This is a straightforward "Tipt End," 6" long, not quite .5 T. oz., teaspoon. It has a feathered script "LH" monogram on the backside. It is simply a quiet example of a well-made spoon of its period, with a bo... Click for details

Early 19th Century Ebenezer Phelps Coin Tablespoon
Silver: Coin Silver: 18th and Early 19th Century
Old Friends 
612e $ 95
The immediate presumption is that the maker of this piece was Ebenezar Phelps of Northampton, Massachusetts, based on the "Phelps" stamped on the reverse. The early 19th century style would correspond with that attribution as well, given Ebenezar's dates were 1766 until at least 1830. However, there is a second imprint which is a multi-point star. McGrew illustrates this in his work on pseudo hallmarks, and attributes it in one instance to S. Bell working in Philadelphia and later Knoxville, ... Click for details

W. Gale Coin Silver 3 Piece Tea Set
Silver: Coin Silver: Hollowware
Everything Silver 
NY099-01 SOLD
Coin silver tea set by William Gale of NYC c. 1816-1827. Gale worked c. 1816-1866 but always with another or others after 1827 and with a joint mark as far as I can determine, thus the attribution to 1816-27. The pieces are engraved on the right hand side with a "W' in script, but the monograms are quite rubbed. The base of the teapot has an old repair with silver solder which is barely noticeable. A very nice set.
