These dessert forks are 7 1/8" and in nice condition. There is slight tine wear but not excessive. There are no dents or bends and the pattern is crisp. They all have the same monogram but different signatures. Two are marked John Stevenson of Pittsburg and the thirs is marked Wynn and Baldwin, whom I can't find but are probably from Pittsburg also. Ca 1850. The signatures are decernable but worn, hence no picture.
This serving spoon is 8 7/8" and in nice condition. (Oops there are a pair of these) The bowl is not dented and the wear is only to the rim not the bowl. It is monogramed "J. Mack". The mark is "Jones, Lows & Ball" in a rectangular cartouche. Ca 1839. The second picture is the other spoon.
This is a nice set of 6" teaspoons. The condition is excellent, flat bowl rims with no wear and no dents. They are marked "J. Appleton Jr" whom I can't locate. The form is a typical New England shape, hence my New England attribution. Ca 1845/50.
This serving spoon is 8 7/8". It's in good condition and heavy weighing almost 2 Tr Oz. It is marked "Wm. F. Ladd" and additionally "Sterling". It was probably made by William Gale who made Sterling early. The weight also lends credence to the William Gale attribution. Ca 1855/60.

These 6 7/8" dessert forks are in a pattern I loosely call "Bead". There are several variations of this pattern including the following set which is slightly different at the tip of the handle. This one has a fluer de lis. These are made by "Bailey & Co." Interestingly these are also sterling, having Baileys mark (lion, S, shield) for sterling. Ca 1855.
These 6 7/8" forks are in nice condition. The tines are in good condition and they haven't been repaired or bent. They are unmarked but guaranteed to be coin. Ca 1850.

These are 5 3/4". The pattern seems to be 3 ivy leaves at the top. They are in excellent condition. Only marked "coin", we wonder about the maker. Ca 1855/65.
