coin silver salver, Welles & Gelston, Boston circa 1820
Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2413 $950.00
diameter, 8.5"; height .75"; weight 14.0 oz. Troy; a few minor scratches and dents but excellent overall condition, no monogram, marked as shown in fifth enlargement.
Some similarities such as the ring-matte chasing (see second photo) exist between this and China Trade items which were imported to Boston during an albeit slightly later time frame, (see Forbes, figures 41 and 153), which along with the four toed feet and overall chunky-ness of this item leads me to wonder if Messr's Welles...

Silver : Coin Silver : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2411 $1,250.00
Edward Holland Hastings was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on February 1, 1857. This dramatic christening cup from the gentleman whom we presume to be his uncle, Edward M. Holland, presaged a distinguished career as owner and impresario.
After spending a year at Cambridge High School, he prepared for four years at Philip Academy in Exeter, NH. Immensely popular with his schoolmates, he was elected class president and entered Harvard upon graduation. Illness prevented him from... Click for details

pair of Vermont coffin end teaspoons, Joha Corbett,
Silver : Coin Silver : Flatware : Coffin-End
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2409 $80.00
Whitingham circa 1800, length 5 5/8 inches, total Troy weight .79 oz., very good condition, period script mono (obverse) and a slightly later one (reverse), marked as shown in third enlargement.
Notable as birthplace of Brigham Young, the town was a mere thirty years old when these spoons were made. We marvel a bit that such a small, rural spot could support its own silversmith, and can't help but suspect that he dabbled in other trades.
