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 6". These are in excellent condition, the pattern is crisp, the bowls clean. They are marked "H&S" and "A. Leach". Likely made by Hotchkiss & Screuder, Leach was probably the retailer. Ca 1855/65.

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.

This sauce is 6 3/4" with a 1 3/4" x 1 3/8" bowl. The condition is excellent, no dents or bends or repairs. It is marked "T. Steele" and pseudo hallmarks. Hartford, Ct., Ca 1840/45.

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.

This sugar shell is 6 3/4". The bowl is in excellent condition but, the handle has had some bends. It is marked N. Matson. Ca 1855/65.

I think these 7 to 8" ladles (several follow) with fairly large bowls are for gravy. They are larger, especially the bowls, than the traditional sauce ladle. Of, course either could be used for gravy or sauce (more semantics). Certainly no one wants to admit eating gravy nowdays. But there is great pressure to lable stuff. Enough said, you may use them as you see fit. This one is 7 3/8" long and in beautiful condition. The pattern is "Tuscan"...

I measure ladles from the front of the bowl to the tip of the handle and this one is over 7". It's hard to determine because it has a pronounced curve in the handle, very graceful. It's in excellent condition. The engraved decoration is crisp and the bowl is good. It is marked N. Harding and "coin". Ca 1860/65.

I don't find these very often. They seem to be somewhat impractical and perishable. I wouldn't try them on a hickory nut. They are about 5" long and in excellent condition (no hard nuts. This is a nice pattern, name unknown to me. Marked Lincoln & Foss an two are marked "Sterling". I suppose the third one is also sterling. Ca 1850.
