Good Pair of Coin Silver Teaspoons by J.HYMAN - Joseph Hyman of VA?
$35.00
Offered is a nicely preserved pair of heavy American coin silver teaspoons from the 1850s or 1860s, with a retailer's mark of J. Hyman - I'm not sure if that mark is one used by the jeweler Joseph Hyman of Portsmouth, Virginia, the Joseph Hyman working later in San Francisco, or another J. Hyman somewhere else. In any event, this pair of Olive pattern type teaspoons measures about 6 1/4 inches in length, and weighs a total of 45 grams. Condition is excellent, with no issues noted. Each spoon bears a period Gothic monogram of WC or MC, which suggests an 1850s date. All in all a good pair of almost unused coin silver spoons!
