Offered is a very nice English silver teaspoon dating to 1838, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign and the end of the Regency. This teaspoon is unusual in that there is a full, clear set of hallmarks but no maker's mark, and in that the spoon is in the Old English pattern with a block letter monogram - it may have been made specifically to replace a missing spoon from a late 18th Century flatware canteen. This spoon is initialed MC in period engraving...

Offered is a really good pair of early and small (and hard to find) English brass candlesticks dating to about 1790, give or take ten years or so. These are attractively proportioned and measure about 4 1/2 to 4 5/8 inches tall - perfect for a modern desk or many windowsills or mantlepieces...

Offered is a rare example of the wares of the jewelry and arms firm of E.J Johnston & Co., of Macon, GA. This partnership comprised Edward (Edmund) J. Johnston and George S. Obear, and is well-known for its production of various types of swords for the officers and men of the Confederate Army. This spoon probably pre-dates the war, as E.J. Johnston & Co. was in business from about 1853 to 1868-69...

Offered is a nice example of the wares of Louisville, KY jewelers Henry Fletcher and Charles Fletcher Bennett, working in partnership as Fletcher & Bennett from 1852 to 1866. This teaspoon is engraved "SS" in period script for the original owner, and has a good clear maker's mark or retailer's mark. It measures about 5 3/4 inches in length, and weighs about 16 grams. Condition is fairly good, with the bowl slightly out of round and with a few small very shallow dings, but no splits or repairs...

Offered is a nice heavy Philadelphia coin silver teaspoon by Jacob Stockman, with a pristine example of one of his more attractive maker's marks. The mark on this spoon may be the one used for "Philadelphia Silversmiths" by Hollan - not able to recall at the moment. This spoon is engraved "MAD" in period script. It measure about 6 1/16 inches in length and weighs about 19 grams. Condition is fair, with modest tip wear and some dings and dents to the bowl, but no splits or repairs...

Offered is a nice American coin silver teaspoon marked PURE COIN and JOHN.B.SCOTT; there were jewelers by that name working in Pittsfield, Massachusetts and New York City in the era this spoon would have been made, circa 1850, and the style is indeterminate, so I'm not certain where this spoon was made, though I'd lean toward New York City based upon style. This spoon is engraved in period script for the original owner and has a most legible maker's mark...

Offered is a beat-up pair of late 18th Century or early 19th Century American coin silver teaspoons by noted silversmith Abner Reeder, working circa 1797-1800 in Philadelphia, and in Trenton, New Jersey thereafter. These spoons each have a legible maker's mark and a worn period script monogram. They measure about 5 3/4 inches in length and weigh about 24 grams. Condition is poor, with badly worn bowls and worn monograms, and one spoon having a notch from a silver test on the upper handle...

Offered is a very rare American coin silver table spoon by little-known silversmith, watchmaker and jeweler Edward M. Bartlett, who was working in West Chester, PA circa 1834-40 and probably for a number of years before and after that date span; he also appears to have worked in Philadelphia at certain points. This large and heavy spoon (measuring about 9 inches in length and weighing 58 grams) is marked with Bartlett's maker's mark, and of interest also is marked WEST*CHESTER...

Offered is a very rare and fine English Georgian sterling silver egg spoon, crested and bearing a maker's mark for noted silversmith John Lambe and a lion passant mark. The mark placement indicates this spoon was made prior to 1781, which makes it very early indeed for this particular form. This piece is crested with a bust of a stag and there are traces of gilding left in the bowl. This piece measures about 4 3/4 inches in length and weighs a good 14 grams...

Offered is a very interesting American coin silver teaspoon made by James Watts of Philadelphia, specifically in a British fiddle pattern, with associated weight and proportions, as well as a little-seen lion pseudo-hallmark that appears to denote the piece was made to the sterling standard.

Offered is a nice 19th Century French first standard silver teaspoon in the French form of fiddle pattern, also known as Uniplat. This teaspoon has a mark very similar to one given in standard references for Etienne-Henri Sanoner (see last picture), and it is likely the mark on this spoon was also his. This spoon is monogrammed to the reverse, and has a clear maker's mark and standard or fineness mark. This piece measures about 5 1/16 inches in length and weighs about 13 grams. Condition is ...

Offered is a very nice American coin silver teaspoon by the noted New Haven, CT partnership of Marcus Merriman and Zebul Bradley, working as Merriman & Bradley from 1817 to 1826. This spoon is engraved in period script with the initials "BS" and has a legible maker's mark, as well as a very interesting pseudo-hallmark of a star or sun, which doesn't normally appear on this partnership's silver, and which is not documented in McGrew's "Manufacturers' Marks on American Coin Silver". This spoon m...

Offered is a fine American coin silver teaspoon by clockmaker, watchmaker and silversmith David Weatherly.

It is engraved with a lovely period script monogram of "AG" (the chemical symbol for silver!) and has a well-struck maker's mark.

Offered is a really nicely made and preserved American coin silver teaspoon by noted silversmith Isaac Garrison, circa the 1850s. Mr. Garrison had a spoon and fork manufactory for a time, and made coin silver flatware both for his own retail operation as well as a wholesaler to many regional jewelers. This spoon bears one of his wholesaler marks, but it may have been sold by Mr. Garrison's shop given the absence of a retailer's mark. This piece also has a well-done period engraved script mono...

Offered is a good American coin silver teaspoon by Montpelier, VT silversmith and jeweler Ira Strong Town (1810-1902), working there from about 1825 on. This teaspoon probably dates to the 1825-45 period. It is engraved with a period script monogram and has a good strike of one of Mr. Town's maker's marks. This spoon measures about 6 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 14 grams. Condition overall is very good, with a stubborn tarnish spot and the bowl being very slightly out of round, but ...
