click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 Set of 12 $360
Marked A. S. DEVONDORF. Almond Smith Devendorf was a "merchant" in Galesburg from c1845-70. As such, he retailed these teaspoons to O. McBride. According to John McGrew, the bust in an inverted heart suggests that they were made in Connecticut. All 12 spoons are in mint condition -- probably never used. The handles are in the forward-tipt fiddle pattern, with flared shoulders. Length is 6-1/4". Weight is 7.25 T. oz.

2 Lancaster teaspoons by John Ewing & Wm. Haverstick Silver: Coin Silver: Flatware: 18th Century : Pre 1800 stock# 106N

Both examples are remarkably similar -- 0val-end handles, c1790 -- shell drops on bowl backs (see pic), reverse ribs, and both with the same mono, block D over W * H. The difference in the shell drops is quite clear; the difference in the monos is very slight. Both spoons are just short of 4-1/2" in length. The Ewing mark is less well known, but is confirmed here with the addition of the Haverstick mark. (See p. 14 in Gerstell for description and pic of Ewing's IE mark.) The Havers ...click for details

Rare RI birdback teaspoon by Ezekiel Burr, c1785 Silver: Coin Silver: Flatware: 18th Century : Pre 1800 stock# 108A
click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $850
New England picturebacks are extremely rare -- none moreso than Rhode Island birds. Only Burr is known to have produced birdback spoons. The bird on this piece is in bold relief, all of its parts intact. The spoon itself has a pointed-end handle with a clearly defined reverse rib. The mono is C * H in shaded block letters, and the length is 5-1/4". The mark is E (pellet) BURR. The bowl tip has a bit of wear, otherwise the overall condition is excellent.
