New York coin silver teaset, William Adams

This is a nice 1835 coin silver teaset. The pot is about 9 3/4" including the finial. The condition is excellent with only a couple of minor dents. The set weighs almost 63 Tr Oz. It is marked "W. Adams" and "New York". William Adams was president of the New York City Board Of Aldermen, 1842 & 1843. The style is typical of the 1835 period. The teaset that follows (#6220) is an interesting copy of this style made 25 years later.
