At 10 1/8" long and nearly 3 T. oz., this mid 19th century serving item is massive by any measure. It is marked Warner and Coin on the reverse. The name Warner is most associated with Baltimore, but this may have a Philadelphia origin. Certainly the design suggests this, as the shape of the handle is quite similar to Faber items. The intricate bright work in the bowl is also suggestive of Philadelphia, several of whose makers excelled in this kind of work. The serving portion is 3 7/8" by ... Click for details

Coffin end; incised arch drop. Length 4-5/8". The monogram is a block MP in a bright cut reserve. Mark condition is excellent; overall condition is also excellent except that one spoon has a bowl dent. These spoons could be a little earlier than 1805 judging by the block monogram and the small size of the spoons.

Pointed-end handle, c1795 - slashed molded drop, block mono P over W L in cartouche on front; 7-3/4" in length. That's rather long for an 18thC dessert spoon, but the size and shape of the bowl gives its purpose away. The more important aspect of this piece is the mark -- D.VINTON (see pic). At one time, the DV mark was attributed to Vinton; more recently scholarship has reattributed DV to Daniel VanVoorhees. This is the first time we've seen a full-name Vinton mark; in fact, it may be the o... Click for details

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.
