Round salver by Tiffany, Young & Ellis, NYC, 1850-2

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.
