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.
I consider these 5 3/8" teaspoons coffin ends, although they don't have the corner cuts. They are squared as most coffin ends are. One bowl has a wrinkle in it and another has some dents, but the tip wear is minimal. I believe the "W. Moulton" mark to be that of William Moulton IV. Ca 1810.
This 10" water pitcher weighs 31 Tr Oz. and is in excellent condition. It is hand hammered with 2 bands of flowers at the base and under the neck. It is engraved "Presented to Esak Saunders a token of esteem, Jan, 1st, 1833". I believe this pitcher is possibly older than this date because of the style. It's possibly a New England piece again due to it's style.
My favorite of the early patterns, this single struck "Kings" serving spoon is 8 3/4". It has no pattern on the back. However, it has an eleven lobe shell on the back of the bowl. The condition is excellent with no dents and a crisp pattern. Even the shell on the back of the bowl is good. It is marked "T&H" with pseudo hallmarks for Taylor & Hinsdale. Ca 1815/20.
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.
A beautifull rendered example of relatively rare form, this right angle butter knife is 7 3/8" and weighs over 1 3/4 Tr. Oz. The handle is nicely engraved as is the blade. The condition is excellent. It is marked "N. Harding & Co." and "Pure Coin". Ca 1850/65.
These forks are 7 5/8". My regret is that I only have 2 of this nice pattern. It has a pineapple on the front and 3 on the back. They are marked "K&L" and "Coin". They are in excellent condition with slight polish wear to the pineapples. The tines are very good. Ca 1855/60.
