Solomon Hougham, London 1804, "Coffin End" Spoon
click for details
The coffin end style which is characterized by angled shoulders on the tip of the handle is a decidedly American style. This 5 3/8" long sterling silver made by Solomon Hougham in 1804, within the coffin end period, in London is in this manner, so the Atlantic was no barrier to a common design motif. This is quite appealing, with a very slight tipt end on the reverse, and beveled shoulders. It has a thumb drop on the heel of the well-shaped bowl. There is no monogram or removal. The conditi...

John J. Stowell, whose mark appears on this 5 3/4" long Sheaf of Wheat coin teaspoon was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1793, and was known to be working as a clockmaker and jeweler in Boston 1823-25, the likely period of this piece. He died in 1834. A piece in this design by him has to be a rarity. It is a quality item with some modest wear.

Lows, Ball (Boston) 6 Massive Fiddle Tipt Dinner Forks

These six, matching coin silver forks are very large, reminiscent actually of a European scale, and therefore an unusual find in early American, c. 1840, coin silver. Each of them measures 8 1/8" long, while the set weighs a hefty 12.4 T. oz. The pattern is a fiddle tipt, with especially broad ends. The reverses are all monogrammed in a triple letter script that is difficult to decipher. The retailer (and likely maker) was Lows, Ball & Company, one of the predecessor partnerships that evolve...

John Wood (NY) Coffin End Coin Coffee Spoon

John Wood is listed by Ensko as advertising in Maiden Lane (Manhattan) in 1770, and also working in Schenectady, NY 1780-92. No death date is offered, but this 5 1/8" long coffin end spoon would have to date close to 1800, so he must have carried on after 1792. It is a fine, clean, example with a feathered script "TTS" monogram. There is an appealing diamond pattern on the shoulders at the join of the handle. This is created by beveling the edges. Apart from two pinpricks in the bowl, which... Click for details

Both examples are remarkably similar -- 0val-end handles, c1790 -- shell drops on bowl backs (see pic), reverse ribs, and both with the same mono, block D over W * H. The difference in the shell drops is quite clear; the difference in the monos is very slight. Both spoons are just short of 4-1/2" in length.
