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.

This 8 5/8" long, moderate weight, 1.4 T. oz., example of the basket of flowers motif is by J.L. Moore of NYC and Brooklyn.

It has a shell back on the bowl and a feathered script "WHC" (?) monogram. The overall condition is very good. The basket of flowers shows some polishing wear, but remains distinct. The bowl has a slight bit of flattening at the tip, but it ... Click for details
