Unusual and striking, these coin silver sugar tongs are 6 3/8" and in excellent condition, with no bends or dents. They have long arms with squared shoulders. There is a bright cut cartouche around a period monogram. It is marked 4 times with a script "JS". I have not located this mark but am basing my guess an the first 2 letters in the "J Sayre" mark. New York Ca 1805.

This is what we look for, seldom finding. This 9 1/8" spoon is in excellent condition with no bowl wear or denting. The urn on the bowl is strong. It is marked "C Wiltberger" and this looks like it may have been struck twice, but it can be made out. Christian Wiltberger, Philadelphia, Ca 1790/95.

This unusual teaspoon is almost 6" and in excellent condition. It is substantial and has no bowl wear or bowl dents. It has no shoulders and the remnants of a long drop. The bowl is long and slender and the handle is somewhat different in form. It is marked "S.Coleman" for Samuel Coleman of Trenton, New Jersey. (Belden pg 118). Ca 1800/1810. A very nice spoon.

I put this 6 3/8" sauce ladle in the early 19th century catagory because coffin ends were usually made then. However, I believe this piece was made in the 1840's, probably custom made, to go with some already existing coffin end spoons. It is marked "P. Dickinson" in a serrated rectangle. See "Belden" page 135 "other marks known". The condition is excellent, no dents or breaks. Ca 1845.

These nice little spoons(5 3/8") are in excellent condition. I consider these coffin ends. They have interesting sharp shoulders similar to the English style (I suppose that has to do with a McFarlane making them). They are marked "JM'F". John McFarlane, Boston. Ca 1805/10.

These are 5 1/4" and pure coffin ends with the coffin shape at both sides of the handle. There are a few bowl dents and some slight bowl wear and have some handle creases. Unfortunately they are unmarked. (after all this I'm sure no one wants them, but I like them). Ca 1805.

This is a interesting 9 1/4" serving spoon with an elongated, narrow handle. It has subdued shoulders and no drop. It's in good condition with miinor bowl denting minimal bowl wear. Actually the bowl is not worn but part of the flat rim is worn slightly. It is marked "JW&Co". This is possibly James Ward of Hartford, Ct. but I'm not sure. Ca 1810.

A 9" serving spoon, back tipt, no shoulders, oval drop. This spoon is in very good condition, no appreciable bowl denting and almost no bowl wear. It is marked "S Richard" and "S.W" for Samuel Richards and Samuel Williamson of Philadelphia. Ca 1797/1802.
