Condition is mint. Why were spoons numbered? Two possible reasons: 1) individual spoons were assigned to each person in the household, and 2) to identify the missing silver in case of theft.

This is a magnificent and very rare fish server. The triangular blade is pierced with scrolls and floral motifs. The long robust handle bears a crest of a boar on a coronet. Fully and clearly hallmarked on the underside for Dublin 1764 and a maker's mark of ID in an oval. This form did, however, have its problems due to age and over-piercing. Splits did occur across the narrow strips of metal. This slice has two small splits about 0.125" long and two old repaired splits about the same size. Th... Click for details

Quite an early, robust marrow scoop with crisp clear hallmarks, for London 1739, maker John Jacob. The earlier scoops did tend to be heavier but, due to age, did suffer from rubbed, illegible hallmarks. That is what is so exciting, if one could find marrow scoops exciting, about this example. It has all the features you desire: good age, good gauge, good marks. Dimensions: 8.75" long. 2 Troy.oz.

Pointed-end handle brightcut its entire length, slashed drop, feathered script mono E R in cartouche on front; 5-7/16" long.

Lamson seems to have begun his working life in Boston, c1790, and by 1817 produced 55 oz of silver ob... Click for details

Here is a very fine sample of her work. Very fine bright-cut decoration on the shanks terminating in acorn-shaped tips. Bears a contemporary monogram 'S' or 'T'. Marked with the maker's mark, Lion Passant for sterling and the Sovereign's Head. There is no Date Letter which is quite acceptable for smaller 18th century articles, though this piece can be dated to 1784/85 by the shape of the Sovereign's Head. This shape was in use between December 1784 and May 1785. The Sovereign's Head, in its var... Click for details
