server length 10 1/8 inches, a tad of wear to the high points but good overall condition, monogrammed "HLC". Priced reasonably-- you might even say it's downright cheap...
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.
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.
overstruck by John & Tunis Denise, New York circa 1795, oval drop with short back midrib, some light wear and minor scratches in bowls (please see third photo) but fine overall condition, length 8 3/4 inches. The Messr's Denise struck their mark at 180 degrees to Schanck's, but both are clearly visible although this may require that that you stand on your head...
