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.

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.
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.
