probably a crest and we suspect Missouri-related given the maker. Great quality and weight; the condition is unassailable when viewed from the front but from the reverse (see second photo) it is obvious that there have been some different findings attached in years past... 2 5/8 by 2 1/8 inches, no monogram, marked "Mermod & Jaccard / Solid Silver".

preserve spoon with gilt shell bowl, length 9 1/8 inches, excellent original condition, weight 2.01 Troy ounces, retailed by Larmour & Co. of Baltimore.

Though admittedly my memory is not what it used to be, I can't recall ever having owned an item in this pattern. It is a wonderful naturalistic form which Krider executed with the highest quality. We believe that the original cat tail and butterfly model was executed in clay, cut to create the flat side, then folded over (see arrow in fou...

length 8 3/8 inches, no monogram, a small test mark on front of bowl at 11 o'clock position but otherwise excellent condition, weight 1.92 Troy ounces, marked as shown in fourth enlargement.

These are often found with pairs of chopsticks, but some miscreant seems to have made off with the chopsticks.

length 6 3/4 inches, weight 1.6 Troy ounces, no monogram, excellent condition, marked "14 PAT. STERLING."

A delightful bit of Victoriana where function follows form, as each tine is shaped like a tiny cucumber.

length 9 1/8 inches, monogrammed "FLC" script reverse (see third photo), marked "sterling 11", an extremely slight wave to the blade mentioned as my esteemed colleague in Tennessee would say only for the sake of accuracy but fine overall condition and not one but two bugs crawling among those roses...

length 10 5/8 inches, weight 2.93 Troy ounces, excellent original condition, no monogram, with gilt matte-finish blade, marked as shown in fourth enlargement.

length inches, weight 2.17 Troy ounces, monogrammed "G" (?) in elaborate shaded script, obverse, and "1824 / 1874" reverse, reticulated gilt bowl engraved with ivy leaves, immaculate original condition.

We have never encountered a spoon with this boat-shaped flat bottom bowl in the past, and have conferred with a Very Knowledgeable Fellow who has owned one (yes, just one) before and is of the opinion that this is indeed a berry spoon.

length 5 5/8 inches, excellent condition, no monogram. An old and lushly detailed piece of repoussé of a quality which is becoming increasingly hard to find.

length 3 3/4 inches, excellent condition, no monogram. Not antique but perhaps from the 1920's (see photo number two for mark) with better detail, die-depth and stronger oxidation than you'd find in a brand new one.

length 6 1/8 inches, total Troy weight 17.85 Troy ounces, fine condition, monogrammed "m". These are delightfully heavy in the hand, and so thick that they're marked on the side (see fifth enlargement).

What could you do with them? Well, I for one would be ecstatic if served an appetizer of duck liver paté in a little ramekin with a very elegant silver knife. But then again, I'd probably also be pretty happy to see this even without one. For our purposes here, however, please choose...

length 5 1/4+ inches, excellent condition, no monogram. A splendid gift for your Keuka grad or alum, made by the Shepard Mfg. Corporation of Melrose, Massachusetts circa 1895.

(for lack of a better description we'll call it this) with finely detailed alternating satyr's heads and irises above an urn shaped vessel decorated with garlands of highly three-dimensional applied flowers, height 9 1/2 inches, weight 14.09 Troy ounces, monogrammed as shown, one extremely minor dent which will not show up in a photo but excellent overall condition.

Kerr, a famous Newark jewelry and silver manufacturer of the early twentieth century, was noted for excellence of design. H...

A fine, heavy piece in excellent condition. Measurements: 3 3/4 by 2 inches; marks: Kerr trademark / STERLING / 2719; no monogram.

Let's face it: after months and months of enduring the pandemic, you're probably ready for a drink and perhaps two. Might as well do it in style with this high quality antique julep cup.

Though other (albeit some slightly cheaper; some not) examples by Mr. Hudson have come on the market, none that I've seen have --at just shy of six (5.94) Troy ounces --been so heavy and well constructed. A few very minor dings but fine overall condition and monogrammed in period script as shown.

silver polish. Folks often come into the shop and ask what I use to make all of our silver look so splendidly handsome. (Then again, there are others who want to know why the proprietor is so decidedly unkempt, but we won't get into that.) I've decided to unleash the secret and perhaps earn a buck or two in the process. This is the ten ounce size, and yes it truly does retard tarnish formation. Rose & Vase not included.

height 2; diameter 6 1/2 inches, weight 7.31 troy ounces, no monogram, some light scratches at bottom as shown but fine overall condition, see third enlargement for mark.

In the Boston School of early 20th century Art & Crafts silver, it is much more common to see this type of "lotus" bowl in copper than in silver. We are pleased to provide this scarce example.

diameter 7 3/4 inches, no monogram, some staining of interior which could be cleaned up substantially but otherwise fine condition with a light brown patina to the exterior and a darker one inside.

Copper items by this maker would appear to be scarce, especially larger ones such as this.

3 1/4 X7/8 inches, weight .95 oz. Troy, fine condition, monogrammed with an applied "L".

A perfect "entry level" item for someone who is considering a collection of hand wrought silver.
