This 13 1/4" soup ladle is a plain fiddleback relatively early ladle. It's in nice condition with no dents, bends or repairs. The handle is curved back and it has a pronounced oval drop (see pictures). The marks are a head, D, and an eagle. Probably New York ca 1830/35.

weighing over 6 Tr Oz, this 13 5/8" soup ladle is a substantial piece if silver. It's in nice condition with no dents, bends or repairs. The pattern is "Tuscan" by William Gale and sold by C. Harbottle of Auburn, NY. Ca 1850.

This lamp is appx. 8 1/2", with a blown font with a stepped base ending in a square base with rounded extended corners. It is attached with quadruple wafer. These rounded corners may have been ground to remove chips. Otherwise it is in excellent condition with minimal chipping. Probably New England, ca 1830/40.

This little (7 3/4") lamp is free-blown, frosted and cut to clear. The base is a square and stepped and attached with a triple wafer. See Barlow & Kaiser # 2065 for font shape and cut. The condition is excellent with no chips on the outside and minor chips on the inside of the base, Boston & Sandwich Glass Co., Ca 1830/40.

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.

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 substantial and have no bends, cracks, or repairs. The patter is as crisp as I have ever seen with every detail sparkling. They are marked "Cary, Boynton & Woodford" with whom I am not familar.

An interesting pattern originally, made in coin in the 1850's by Albert Coles, is very modern looking. This sterling 12 3/4" soup ladle was probably made around 1870. It is in excellent condition with no dents or cracks. It is marked with Albert Coles eagle, diamond with AC, and head and "sterling".

These are heavy knives in nice condition and are 8". The pattern is the Philadelphia version of Bead, with a Fleur-de-Lis at the end. They are clearly marked with all of the Bailey marks on the blade. The monogram "MCR" is a later addition. Ca 1845/55.

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 7" dessert forks are in nice condition. The pattern is crisp and there are no bends or repairs. There is slight tine wear but this is not excessive. They are marked "H&S" for Hotchkiss and Schreuder of Syracuse, NY. Ca 1860.

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.

I have a fondness for these elegant lamps. I wonder how they have survived for 170 years. This one is 11 3/4" with a blown font and pressed stepped base. The font is partially frosted. It has small chips on the base and some inside the base. Possibly Sandwich, it dates from the first half of the 19th century.
