Miniature Kentucky "toy" spoon by Charles Asmann Silver: Coin Silver: Southern: Pre 1900 stock# 695

Pointed-end handle, strong crescent drop on bowl back, reverse rib, feathered script mono W D on front; 8-3/4" in length. Combined weight is 4 Troy oz. Condition is mint throughout, extended bowl tips unworn. Leret was working in Carlisle through 1787 and thereafter in Baltimore. These spoons could have been made in either location, of course, but they look early-ish, and we therefore sited them in Carlisle.

click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $350
Oval-end handle, c1800 -- feathered script mono T H C on front; 8-1/2" long. This spoon is also marked IWG for John Ward Gethen, also of Philly, which presents a bit of a puzzle. Both Black and Gethen were silversmiths, the first starting his career in 1795, the latter in 1811. It could be that Gethen added the piece to his inventory and sold it out of his shop. The spoon is in excellent condition, the extended bowl tip unworn. The bird is lightly struck, but all of its parts seem to b ...click for details

Double-swell fiddle handle, c1860 -- by Jeremiah Gray, Richmond, ME -- flared shoulders, feathered script mono A.H.G. on front; 6" in length. Most unusual is the decoration -- practically unknown by the middle of the 19th century. Spoons were machine-made and sold with the mono engraved, nothing more. The decorative flourishes on these spoons were engraved, probably on specific order and done by Gray himself.
