length 8 inches, a massive 2.85 oz. Troy each, no monogram, excellent condition.

Scroll down our main catalogue page a bit and you'll find two others, monogrammed and slightly more moderate in price, but equally functional.

length five inches, no monogram, excellent condition, weight .95 Troy ounces, please see third photo for mark. Rather a scarce piece in this pattern, and undoubtedly the cutest item on our entire website.

height 2 1/2; length 2 7/8 inches, weight 1.73 Troy ounces, fine condition, no monogram, marked as shown.

retailed and presumably designed by F.E. Ladd, length 5 1/2 inches, weight .8 oz. Troy, elaborate shaded script monogram, fine condition. A spoon which not so very long ago commonly sold for upward of two hundred dollars, at auction. Take advantage of the slight slowdown in the antiques market, while it lasts, to get this item at an advantageous price...

heavy (.71 oz. Troy) and in excellent condition, 1 5/8 by 1 3/4 inches, no monogram, marked only "sterling."

Not antique, but truly a quality item. If Yours Truly were to have a coat of arms, it would probably resemble this one...

Hand wrought special order (number 288) with applied beaded rim above alternating tulip and anthemion border, on round stepped base with conforming beaded edge, large and massive; weight 56 oz. Troy, top diameter 12 3/8 inches excluding handles, height 6 3/8 inches, some minor scratches to interior but excellent overall condition, please see fourth and fifth photos for marks.

Inscribed “To Louis Ettlinger from his friends and associates in the American Lithographic Co. with respect and ...

width and height both about 2 inches, excellent condition, no monogram. A perfect gift for your royalty-obsessed friend...

diameter 2 1/4 inches, fine condition, heavy (mass 59.6 grams).

circa 1925. OK, for once I'll just shut up and let you have a look! Diameter, 1 5/16 inches; excellent condition; no inscription; please see second photo for marks.

maker's mark "OL" height just shy of 3 1/2; top diameter 2 3/4 inches, monogrammed "AAH" (script) in oval cartouche with fancy scrolled floral engraved border, weight 2.23 oz. Troy, faintly gilt interior, a few dents in base as shown (please see photo number three) but very good overall condition.

What more may we say about this beaker? It won't break if you drop it and thus is well suited for bathroom or bar room. Swedish silver, even from the 19th century is rare in our part of the wo...

five floral links with chrysoprase centers, length 6 3/4 inches excluding clasp, weight a generous 1.24 oz Troy, excellent condition.

We'd never heard of "Taylord", but bought this thinking for sure that the name would turn up in some tome as a small production Arts & Crafts silversmith. No such luck. As it happens they were largely makers of (gasp!!) mid-grade costume jewelry, and this bracelet with individually cast links and hand set stones is probably the finest item the company eve...

probably Netherlands circa 1900, marked 830s, monogrammed "KH / 12 8 '96", excellent condition and as we say here in Boston, "it's a baaahgin".

length 6 inches, some slight wear to shell (reverse) where it meets the table, see photo number four, but fine overall condition, monogram EJA (?) script obverse, weight 9.08 oz Troy the set, retailed by William Wise & Son.

length 7 5/8 inches, monogrammed "F.E. Dean", maker J.B. & Co (possibly Jones Ball & Co, Boston circa 1850). Most of the handles have the usual pinprick dents which one might expect in knives from this period; two have some larger dings which we've shown in photo number five. The blades are in fine condition.

a header which may alas place us in shady company, length 2 3/8 inches, with snuff/tobacco spoon, pipe scraper, and tamper that doubles as a seal (see fourth photo for positive image). Superb condition.

engraved "Mary from Jennie / Dec 25/70", height 1 3/8; diameter 1 3/4 inches, weight 1.20 Troy ounces, fine condition, marked "S360" as shown in fourth enlargement.

We love that this was a Christmas gift from one woman to her friend, and also that the item is dated (presumbably from year of manufacture) 1870. If you're thinking that it might be nice to have a collection of napkin rings, this would be a great place to start!

length 5 5/8 inches, fine condition, gilt bowl, monogrammed "1847 - 1897", weight 1.32 Troy ounces.

For the sake of accuracy, we'll mention that one piercing is slightly ajar (you may be able to see this in our third enlargement) but this is visible only with magnification, not to the naked eye.

Many of our faithful readers have no doubt been wondering, "Has Cherner resigned, retired, been fired, got tired or perhaps become discouraged with the overall lack of interest in antiques unless they are being chased by strange folks on the telly"? Well, no, we actually took a bit of vacation and mostly stayed out of the shops so have little new to show but this lone Tiffany spoon.

If the hostess gift still lives, then this (and a pound of great coffee) would make a fine one. Length 4 5...
