Offered is a beat-up but quite scarce example of a Philadelphia coin silver teaspoon, circa 1810-14, bearing the maker's mark of Thomas W. Harper (the manufacturer) and Joseph Anthony & Son (the retailer); silver with any of Mr. Anthony's marks is uncommon, let alone with Harper's mark also. This piece has worn but legible marks and a period engraved script monogram. It measures about 5 5/8 inches in length and weighs about 13 grams. Condition is poor overall, with a lot of surface wear and small scratches, and some tip wear and dings to the bowl, but no splits or repairs. All in all a good example of these marks together, and the desirable mark of the short-lived partnership among the Anthony family!
