John Cook Large 1860s Coin Silver Ice Cream Server
Silver : Coin Silver : Serving Pieces
Old Friends
4915f $185.00
While marked "Pat. Appld. For," along with maker's name "J[ohn]. Cook," New York City, later examples of this unnamed pattern indicate the patent was actually issued in 1869, dating this some time before that. The piece is a large, 9 7/8" long, 2.4 T. oz., die struck, coin silver server, likely for ice cream. The "rosette and bellflower" pattern is similar to A. & W. Wood's Clematis and less closely so to an unnamed one by Michael Gibney, both contemporaneous in time and place with... Click for details

Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends

In his comprehensive work Tiffany Silver Flatware, author William Hood discusses a number of "not-full-line patterns without a known name or description."

John Wendt BIRD sterling dessert spoon
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2470 $75.00
length 7 inches, weight an impressive 1.62 Troy ounces, marked as shown in fifth enlargement.
In many ways, this is an exemplary item, as it has had scant use, little pattern wear and is pleasantly heavy in the hand. Sadly, as may be seen in our second photo, there has been an erasure from the reverse. However, the spoon is still guaranteed to hold your soup or dessert!
