Wood and Hughes "Japanese" pie knife
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2226 $375.00
length 10 3/8 inches, weight 3.48 Troy ounces, no monogram, excellent condition.
As our friend Don Soeffing has recounted in "The Battle of the Birds" (Silver Magazine, November/December 1995), production of this pattern was short lived, because W & H lost this particular battle against Tiffany for infringement of their design pattern...

Old Newbury Crafters stuffing spoon,
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2202 Sold
length 12 7/8 inches, weight 4.11 Troy ounces, no monogram, excellent condition.
With the added cachet (we were going to say "snob appeal", but then remembered that our faithful readers, all two of them who remain, aren't snooty) of a Cartier retailer's mark.
Bought new, it costs just about as much as a small Mercedes, but here what a deal!!

Westervelt MEDALLION teaspoon
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2180 Sold
length six inches, weight 1.00 Troy ounces, no monogram, excellent condition, retailed by Wendell & Roberts.
Silver scholar and author D. Albert Soeffing describes this portrait as "a rather plain woman," and though it lacks the sophistication of some Medallions, there is a certain undeniable charm to her face. A great entry level item for the budding silver collector, should such a creature still exist...

11 coin silver King's banquet sized dinner forks
Silver : Coin Silver : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2169 $1650.00
Gale & Mosely, New York circa 1830, double struck-- for the uninitiated, this means the pattern is both front and back, length just shy of 8 1/2 inches, some very slight tine wear on a few (we've pictured the worst one in enlargement number four) but superb overall condition, weight 30.74 Troy ounces (!!) or 2.79 each on average, no monogram.
One would be hard-pressed indeed to find a better set of dinner forks.

Gorham OLD MASTERS pie knife
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2146 Sold
with high relief cast bust of Van Dyck, length 9 inches, weight 3.24 Troy ounces, no monogram. Truly one of Antoine Heller's greatest designs, and among Gorham's most sculptural patterns.
There is a file cut (visible from side and reverse only; see fourth photo) which we've pictured in excruciating detail, and some light pitting on the blade which we've mostly polished out and probably will address a bit more, as time allows. Aside from this, the condition is excellent.

18th c American basting spoon, Joseph Anthony,
Silver : Coin Silver : Flatware : 18th Century
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2139 P.O.R.
Philadelphia circa 1790, a fine, large and massive piece, length 14 inches, length of bowl five inches, weight 6.87 Troy ounces, marked JA struck twice in cut cornered rectangle. There is a minor fill at the edge of the bowl (please see fifth photo) and some scratches on reverse, but excellent overall condition.
This spoon is not monogrammed and does not appear ever to have been, which is most unusual for early American silver.
