Serving spoons by Robert Best & Co.,Cincinnati, 1815-17 Silver: Coin Silver: Serving Pieces: Pre 1837 VR stock# 880
click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 Ea. $250
Long (3-1/4") downturned fiddle handles, early pointed shoulders, no mono (never engraved; no sign of mono removal); 9-3/8" in length. Condition is excellent, with the exception of very minor tipwear. Members of the Best family were among the earliest silversmiths in Cincinnati. In her book on Cincinnati silversmiths, Elizabeth D. Beckman points out that the firm of R. Best & Co. was in business for only 2 years - 1815-17. (One sold, 3 remain.)

Coin silver serving spoon by Geo. Bertie, c1815-25 Silver: Coin Silver: Serving Pieces: Pre 1837 VR stock# 881
click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $95
Downturned fiddle handle, pointed shoulders, large drop, feathered script mono C W on front of handle; 8-7/8" in length; 1-3/4 T oz. This piece is in near-mint condition, the extended bowl tip unworn. The only question is the identity of the silversmith -- G (pellet) B. We bought the spoon in PA. Possible makers from that state include George Baldwin of Chester; George Bardeck of Philly; George Beatty, Harrisburg. The most likely maker, we think, is George Bertie, who moved from Baltimo ...click for details

American coin silver Mystery Mark #3 -- J.M. Warner Silver: Coin Silver: Flatware: Coffin-End: Pre 1837 VR stock# 289
click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $225
Coffin-end serving spoon, c1810-15 -- no shoulders, no drop, light reverse rib, feathered script mono G on front; 8-7/8" long. Condition is excellent, near mint. We bought this piece several months ago: Warner, should be a snap to find him; probably Delaware, right? Maybe Philadelphia -- maybe a stray southern maker. Well, maybe, but we haven't located him yet. Will keep looking.

American coin silver Mystery Mark #1 -- AHB Silver: Coin Silver: Serving Pieces: Pre 1837 VR stock# 886
click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $100
Mustard ladle, c1810-20 -- This is a 4-3/4"-long piece with an extraordinarily long (2-1/2") fiddle; it has square shoulders and a tiny (3/4") oval bowl. Mono, as shown, is T E C in feathered script. One would think that a smith, or a partnership of smithies, with a 3-letter mark would be easy to find. Not so. We went thru the B's in Kovel and other silver books to no avail. Then we did the same with the A's, thinking it might be a 3-person partnership. Still no luck ...click for details

click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $60
Oval-end handle, short broad drop, feathered script mono J A M on front; 9-1/4" long. A bit of tipwear, otherwise fine. The style of this piece, not the date it was made, puts it in the 18thC catagory.

click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $20
