Set of six teaspoons, dating from 1800-1810, by William Simes (1773-1824) of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Each is marked with Simes' punch (mark "a" on page 382 of Marks of American Silversmiths in the Ineson-Bissell Collection by Louise Conway Belden). Length is 5 11/16 inches. Condition is very good: I would almost be tempted to say the spoons were never used. There is a slightly s... Click for details

There are several attribution possibilities for this pair of 6 1/8" long, .9+ T. oz., coin silver tongs marked "WC" on the inside of each arm. They are William Clark, New Milford or William Cleveland, Norwich, both Connecticut, or William Cowell, Jr., Boston. They all were working in the 18th century, with Cleveland the youngest and who lived well into the 19th century. The design of these is decidedly 18th century, and may be too early for Cleveland. They have tapered legs that are decorate... Click for details

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

Nice upturned midrib or Hanoverian teaspoon which I thought was by Daniel Henchman of Boston but after a bit of research think might be by David Hall of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The key point seems to be the letter spacing. In any event, it is 4 9/16 inches long with a shallow rib, a bit of tipwear and a shell with some wear. It has a block monogram H • T.

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.

Unusual and striking, these coin silver sugar tongs are 6 3/8" and in excellent condition, with no bends or dents. They have long arms with squared shoulders. There is a bright cut cartouche around a period monogram. It is marked 4 times with a script "JS". I have not located this mark but am basing my guess an the first 2 letters in the "J Sayre" mark. New York Ca 1805.
