Offered is an early 19th Century American coin silver sugar tongs, deaccessioned from a Southern museum, but which were made by Cazenovia/Pompey, New York silversmith and clockmaker Jehiel Clark (1764 or 1781-1855), who was working in Cazenovia by about 1808 or 1810, and worked for several decades before turning over his business to his son. This piece is marked J.CLARK in a rectangular punch, with a large standing eagle mark that McGrew attributes to a New York manufacturer (Foster). This se...

This is an interesting teaspoon with some British Colonial aspects, which may or may not be American coin silver, Canadian, or something else. If anyone can solve this with a solid attribution, they will win a coin silver teaspoon or $15 off their next order - their choice! This piece measures about 5 3/8 inches in length and weighs about 19 grams. It is marked CS in a primitive punch (could be GS, but more likely CS). All in all an enigmatic piece, with a standard British-style period scrip...

Offered is a very scarce pair of early 19th Century American coin silver teaspoons by important Philadelphia silversmith John D. Germon (1751-1829), whose work is featured in many public collections but which is rarely seen in the marketplace. This pair of teaspoons dates to about the last fifteen years of Germon's active period, which seems to have ended around 1825. Each spoon is marked with Germon's maker's mark, and is engraved "CME" in period script for the original owner(s). These spoon...

Offered is an excellent American coin silver long-handled condiment spoon or ladle, done in the Prince Albert pattern and engraved with a good period script set of initials. The maker's mark or retailer's mark of William Boning on this piece is W.BONING incuse; it is one of two William Boning marks recently discovered, the other being in a rectangular punch. Neither mark appears in "Philadelphia Silversmiths" by Catherine Hollan, probably due to the rarity of pieces marked by this man. This pi...

Offered is a scarce and attractive pair of 19th Century neoclassical Italian silver spoons, by a silversmith named Castagna or Castagma, who I've not found anything about. In addition to the maker's mark, each spoon is marked with a fineness mark of 800. These spoons probably date to the second or third quarter of the 19th Century, judging by the marks and the style. They measure a bit over 5 1/2 inches in length and weigh a total of about 26 grams for the pair. Condition overall is very goo...

Offered is an interesting American coin silver teaspoon circa 1848, in a pattern I haven't seen before, and which seems to be quite rare. This pattern was apparently patented in 1848, judging by the mark on the spoon, and the spoon was retailed by John and James Cox of New York, NY. The manufacturer may or may not have used a "W" mark, which has a journeyman's mark or tally mark next to it. Alternatively, the "W" is itself a journeyman's mark, and the spoon could lack any identification of th...

This mark is in the Chait Collection book on Chinese Export Silver. This piece measures about 4 inches in length and weighs about 17 grams. It is crested but the crest is so worn it may be that an attempt was made to erase the armorial. The maker's mark and pseudo-hallmarks...

Offered is a good American coin silver tablespoon from Philadelphia, made by James Watts and bearing the very rare retailer's mark of Jacob and Solomon Frank, working on N. 6th Street circa 1850-61.

Offered is a nice example of the work of silversmith Lewis Wicks Clark, working in Watertown, New York between about 1832 and 1837, and in Utica in 1838. Lewis W. Clark married in 1843, so he lived at least that long, but his death date may be unknown. This spoon by style would fit well into the 1830s but could be from the 1840s. It measures about 6 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 19 grams. It has a rubbed but still legible maker's mark of L.W.CLARK and a period engraved script monogra...
