This is a nice set of 6" teaspoons. The condition is excellent, flat bowl rims with no wear and no dents. They are marked "J. Appleton Jr" whom I can't locate. The form is a typical New England shape, hence my New England attribution. Ca 1845/50.

These 6 7/8" dessert forks are in a pattern I loosely call "Bead". There are several variations of this pattern including the following set which is slightly different at the tip of the handle. This one has a fluer de lis. These are made by "Bailey & Co." Interestingly these are also sterling, having Baileys mark (lion, S, shield) for sterling. Ca 1855.

A decent piece of Baltimore engraved coin silver, 9 1/8 inches long, good condition, monogrammed "Clintonia" (please see second photo).
