When photographing these these 6 7/8" dessert forks, I noticed one was not by Stebbins, but by Bigelow, Brothers and was sterling.

This set of 7, 6" teaspoons have a nice engraved pattern. The condition is good with minimal denting and no repairs, although they have been polished extensively. The engraved pattern is muted. They are only marked "coin". Ca 1865.
I included the ladle because it was with the teaspoons and has the same mark & monogram. The teaspoons are 5 7/8", the ladle 7". Maybe it's a dessert set. The pattern is oval or French thread. The condition is excellent almost no dents or wear. It is marked "F.F. Quintard" and pseudo hallmarks. Ca 1855/60.

I have put these 3 pairs of sugar tongs under flatware because they are early patterns rather than flatware. These are about 6 1/8" and in wonderful condition.

They are marked "Cary, Boynton & Woodford" with whom I am not familar.
