This piece was never engraved and is in near-mint condition; it weighs 17 Troy oz. The date it was made is cited in the usual Gale signature; it is also marked "Sterling," an affectation of the mid-19thC, as there were no assay offices int he U.S. until about 1865.

This coin silver piece is also marked J.C.M. -- for John C. Moore, one of Tiffany's earliest silversmiths. These marks (see pix) were used only 1850-2 (see Rainwater). Salver is 7" in diameter and sits on 3 shell feet; its center is engraved with ornate scrolls and has an applied band at rim (see pic). It weighs 6-1/2 Troy oz. It was never engraved with the owner's mono. Condition is very good, with 1 or 2 dings at the rim caused by pressure on the feet.
