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 small mustard ladle is only 4 1/4" and is in excellent condition. There are no dents, bends or repairs. It is marked "W&D" probably Wood & Dodge of Philadelphia. Ca 1816/1817.

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.

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 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 egg-shaped bowls are not worn but have minor dents. Ca. 1785.

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 early mustard ladle is 5" and in nice condition. There are no dents or bends. It is marked "Walcott & Gelston". Boston, Ca 1825/30.

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 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.
