John Cook (NY) Jenny Lind Right Angle Coin Butter Knife
Silver: Coin Silver: Serving Pieces
Old Friends 
601b $ 48
John Cook's earliest associations were with William Gale and his last connection was apparently with George Shiebler. This c. 1868 right angle, coin silver master butter knife is in the Jenny Lind pattern, which is identified with Albert Coles. All of these makers were New York based and worked in overlapping times and locales. The piece is a generous 7 1/4" long, and weighty, at 1.5 T. oz. The blade is fully engraved on the outward facing side, and has an engraved detail on the backside, un... Click for details

Albert Coles Jenny Lind Coin Cheese Scoop, a Rarity
Silver: Coin Silver: Serving Pieces
Old Friends 
584b $ 225
This coin silver cheese scoop in Albert Coles' (NY) Jenny Lind stands apart on several counts. First, it is a form not usually seen by this maker. Second, it is in a form that pairs a solid shank with a hollow handle. While examples of this routinely show up in master butter knives, youth and pickle sets, and tea knives, this pairing in a substantial serving item is quite out of the ordinary. It is completely original, and self-evidently so, with the maker's mark stamped on the shank, and a ... Click for details

Gorham Medallion Fried Oyster Server
Silver: Coin Silver: Serving Pieces
Old Friends 
514b $ 295
This serving piece is generally identified as a fried oyster server. It could be a fried egg server as well. The form also shows up in ice cream sets (see Old Friends item 519b), so the argument is equally strong that it is an ice cream spade. In any case, it is an appealing piece of Gorham's Medallion. This example is 9 5/8" long, and solid weight at 2.6 T. oz. It has an ovoid, essentially flat serving end with a cupped heel and flanged edges. Inspired by classical figures, this item feat...
