This is a pretty coin cup 3 1/4" tall, with a 2 5/8" diameter. The engraved decoration is crisp, the fancy monogram is pretty but undecipherable. The base is somewhat out of round and there are dents including where the handle has been pushed in. It does not seem to have been reatached. It is marked "Coin" and "14", probably a Gorham cup. Ca 1865.

These are 5 1/2" long. They are bright cut, pointed end with no shoulders and a normal drop. The bowls have dents but negligable tip wear. They are marked "RW" in an oval cartouche probably Robert Wilson. New York ca 1803/1805.

A nicely engraved, 8 3/8" berry spoon. The bowl is an unusual form. The condition is excellent, no dents or tears. The engraving is crisp. It is marked "Coin" and "10". Ca 1860.

These little spoons are different sizes. One is 5 1/8", the other three are 5 3/8". Each has the same monogram and decoration. All are featheredged. The mark is INR For Joseph Richardson, Jr. and Nathaniel Richardson. The longer ones are marked twice, the shorter once. They are down tipped with a longish tapered drop. The egg-shaped bowls are not worn but have minor dents. Ca. 1785.

These are a pretty pattern, unknown to me, of course. It is crisp and the bowls are in good condition. It is marked J H Johnston & Co., 150 Bowery, NY. They are 5 7/8" long. Ca 1855/65.

These teaspoons are 6 1/8"long. They are marked Julius King (incuse) probably a retailer, and hallmarks. They have a few dents but no bowl wear. Ca. 1855.

Here is an inigma. They are 7 7/8" long, are pointed end, with a back midrib and no drop or shoulders. So I guess they are around 1805. I thought they might be Joel Sayre, but the JS look very close to the first letters of Jehu Scott's mark. They are substantial and in good condition, a few bowl dents but otherwise good.

This is an emaculate set of 11 coin knives in Gorhams "Pompeii" pattern(Turner pg. 100). They are marked on the blade "Patent applied for","E. Marks"(retailer) and the Gorham lion, anchor & G. They are 8 1/4" in very good condition. Ca 1865. I have sold 6 of these.

This is a small early teaspoon in decent condition. It's lack of shoulders and handle form indicate early 19th century, 1800/1810. It has some minor dings in the bowl, but no bowl wear. It has a miniscule crack (less than 1/64") where the bowl & handle meet. It is marked S. Baker, NY and Wilmington, NC. The book " Silversmiths of North Carolina" states that it is unknown when Baker came to Wilmington. These early, possibly Southern spoons are hard to find.

A very nice pair of heavy, 7 3/8" dessert spoons. They have no bowl wear and a couple of miniscule dents in one bowl. Stephen Baker was in Wilmington until around 1818 we think. We do not know when his son came into the business or actually when he was in New York. "New York State Silversmiths" has him dated there 1787/1856. All this is assuming these are the same Stephen Baker. These are marked S. Baker & Son.

This 13 1/4" ladle is probably a soup ladle but, with it's flutes bowl could easily serve as a punch ladle. The pattern is "Tuscan" patented in 1846. The condition is excellent with essentially no wear. It is marked S.D. Brower (incuse) and has a raised eagle. CA 1856/55.

These sugar tongs are 6" in length and in excellent condition. With nice cutout handles, they were made around 1840 by D.B. Miller of Boston.
