Very early fiddle pattern, c1815 -- no shoulders -- incised pointed arch drop -- shaded script mono J P V on front of handle -- a lengthy 9-1/2" and good solid weight. Very slight tipwear, otherwise excellent. NOTE: Darling lists an H.W. Bessac, but then shows exactly the same mark as here -- no H -- just plain W. Bessac. We conclude that somewhere along the way, Darling or someone else erred.

Usually, it dates from the 1880's or even a bit later. Until now, we've never offered any antique American silver in such condition and I am indeed proud to do so.

They are marked "Cary, Boynton & Woodford" with whom I am not familar.
