spoon, length 5 3/4 inches, excellent condition, no monogram. The T-monarch-S trademark (see second photo) is ringing only the faintest of bells in our memory, but Thomae silver company is also a possibility.
another item in our albeit far too brief series for those with Park Slope taste and a Canarsie budget, length 10 1/4 inches, good weight, excellent condition, monogrammed "MS" (block, obverse). Both bowl (four by 2 3/4 inches) and tines are extra-large in relation to the overall length. Why is this important? For those like Yours Truly, who enjoy a bigger portion, of course...
circa 1825, length 8 7/8+ inches, good weight, monogrammed "N" (script, obverse), single struck. One has a minimal amount of tip and pattern wear but with the exception of a small test mark the others are pristine.
interior dimensions 2 1/8+ by 1 3/4 inches, hinge is slightly askew (please see third photo) and there are a few very minor dents but excellent overall condition, no monogram, maker GWD, Chester 1882. Not strictly speaking Judaica as it would have been a "good luck" symbol in that era, but could nonetheless make a stunning Bat Mitzvah gift, we think.
no monogram, excellent condition, height 2 3/4 inches. Even with a twenty power loupe and our mightiest middle-aged squint we can't decipher the maker's mark, although William Percival would be a strong contender. Please have a look for yourself in photo number two.
Moscow 1882, length 6 3/8 inches, fine condition, monogrammed. A pleasant change to see some Russian forks rather than the ubiquitous teaspoons, we think.
