Yes campers, it is almost too good to be true but the free item contest is once again up and running. As usual, we'll make it a quiz, and the answers are lurking deep within our webpage...

exceptionally colourful, gilt bowl, no monogram, excellent condition save for one small portion of missing blue inlay (see third photo). I hesitate to call this damage. Gorham had significant problems with the enameling process and it may be a slight "second".

with engraved faintly gilt blade, the handle circular in section, length 9 1/8 inches, no monogram, excellent condition.

7 1/2 inches long, weight 1.74 oz. Troy, excellent condition, gilt bowl, no monogram, retailed by Cox Brothers.

excellent condition, monogrammed "W" (see second photo), length 5 3/8 inches, weight 6.21 Troy ounces. These have an embossed decoration on the bowl which we suspect that later versions of this piece do not possess.

gilt pear shaped bowl, monogrammed "LC" (script, reverse), excellent condition, length 4 1/8 inches, marked only Bigelow Kennard and "sterling" but looks to be Wood & Hughes.

Philadelphia circa 1790, from the same service as item 0867 although the bright cut decoration is slightly different in execution, length 9 1/4 inches, immaculate condition.

Alas, so are we. After 26 years, the Boston Antique Coop II is closing its doors. This, as they say, is due to circumstances beyond our control. Along with my colleagues John, Lolly, Gerry, Françoise, Rosemary, Brian, and Jackie let me offer a heartfelt thanks to all the folks who helped make our shop a success. Will we open another retail location? There are no immediate plans, but stay tuned to this spot...

7 7/16 inches long; fine condition; marked "H.H. PAT. 1866 2" and "LARMOUR & CO. / COIN"; monogrammed "T.A.S" (please view photo number two to see this and Satan's second appearance here on the little web page). Do you recall that sometimes the blades of these knives are wonderfully engraved with ivy and anthemions? Well don't get your hopes up because this one is perfectly plain...
