Offered is a good Connecticut coin silver spoon from the little town of Brooklyn, by Edwin Comfort Newbury, working there circa 1828-50, give or take. It is marked with a legible but slightly rubbed maker's mark, and is engraved with a period script monogram. This teaspoon measures about 5 3/8 inches in length and weighs about 12 grams. Condition is very good overall, with only modest wear from normal use, and no dents, splits or repairs. A nice example from this maker!

Offered is a very rare set of four Philadelphia coin silver teaspoons, dating to the 1814-25 period, with a mark of R.WILSON in a rectangular punch. This mark is undocumented in Cathy Hollan's "Philadelphia Silversmiths", but is very likely the mark used by Robert Wilson Jr. from the time he began as a silversmith in 1814 until he joined his brother in partnership in 1825 when his father, Robert Wilson, Sr., passed away. Alternatively (but less likely), the mark could have been used by the fat...

Offered is a quite rare example of the full name mark of Winchester, Virginia silversmith William L. Campbell (b. 1759 - d. 1815). This piece measures about 8 3/4 inches in length and weighs a good 55 grams. It bears a period engraved monogram of "B" to the handle, and has a clear maker's mark that is quite distinctive. A teapot in the Virginia Museum of History and Culture bears the same mark. According to the Museum, William L. Campbell, the father of noted silversmith Thomas Boyle Campbel...

Offered is a very rare and early (circa 1820s-30s) Tennessee coin silver coffee spoon or small teaspoon by the father and son partnership of W. & S. Berson of Franklin. William Berson and his son Solomon worked together in Williamson County, Tennessee from 1833-1838. Judging by the style of this piece, they potentially worked together earlier than that. This spoon has an interesting period six-letter monogram - the longest I've seen. Presumably the original owners can be tracked down given t...

Offered is a nice early 19th Century American coin silver spoon by Martin Moses (b. 1793 - d. 1893), who was working in Worcester, MA circa 1807 but by 1815 had moved to Somers, NY. By 1818 he had moved back to Massachusetts, but would return to NY state again later in his career. This spoon would seem to date to either his Worcester or Somers periods by style. It has a period engraved script monogram and a good clear strike of his maker's mark, one of several he used, and perhaps the earlies...

Offered is a nicely preserved pair of heavy American coin silver teaspoons from the 1850s or 1860s, with a retailer's mark of J. Hyman - I'm not sure if that mark is one used by the jeweler Joseph Hyman of Portsmouth, Virginia, the Joseph Hyman working later in San Francisco, or another J. Hyman somewhere else. In any event, this pair of Olive pattern type teaspoons measures about 6 1/4 inches in length, and weighs a total of 45 grams. Condition is excellent, with no issues noted. Each spoon ...

Offered is a nice heavy mid-19th Century solid silver spoon from Naples, Italy, dating by the assay mark to between 1832 and 1872. The maker's mark is faint but is either C.B....?, C. R.....?, G.B....? or G.R......? This piece is in the fiddle and shell pattern, and has a period engraved monogram of VT. It measures just five inches long, but weighs a substantial 24 grams. Condition is good overall, with some modest tip wear and some small scratches to the back of the bowl. It is perhaps uns...

Offered is a fine set of four early 19th Century Scottish silver teaspoons by David Manson, who worked in Dundee between 1809 and 1818, and then in Jamaica briefly before his death there on July 2, 1821. These spoons would likely date to Manson's Dundee period, given the inclusion of the pot/vase of flowers pseudo-hallmark (the Dundee city arms) with his maker's mark on these spoons. Each spoon bears two legible strikes of Manson's maker's mark and a pot of flowers mark, and each is engraved i...

Offered is a very rare set of five American coin silver teaspoons by little-known silversmith, watchmaker and jeweler Edward M. Bartlett, who was working in West Chester, PA circa 1834-40 and probably for a number of years before and after that date span. Each spoon is marked with Bartlett's maker's mark, and of interest each is marked WEST*CHESTER - these are the only coin silver spoons I've ever come across marked for this prosperous part of Pennsylvania. Bartlett's silver seems to be quite ...

Offered is a nice set of English Georgian sterling silver sugar tongs for everyday use; these have a maker's mark of IL and Georgian-era hallmarks for London, 1814, as well as a museum inventory mark from 1966. These were de-accessioned by a Southern institution and were acquired with a number of other pieces from the same de-accessioning. This set of tongs also has a gothic initial monogram, which probably replaced an original script monogram that was erased. These tongs measure about 5 1/2 ...

Offered is a lovely American coin silver egg spoon or large condiment (dry mustard or horseradish?) spoon by noted Philadelphia silversmith Thomas Whartenby, circa 1820, give or take five years. This piece was de-accessioned recently by a Southern institution, and judging by the museum inventory number to the reverse, it was originally gifted in 1966. This piece bears a good strike of Whartenby's initials maker's mark and the eagle head mark used in conjunction with that mark. It measures abo...
