Offered is a very nice antique box for a necklace, from West Virginia jeweler Harry M. Fisher, who commenced business in 1912. It's a bit under 9 1/2 inches long. It probably dates to about 1912-25. There are a few stains and signs of wear, but overall it is in fairly good condition for its age, with a staple on one side, presumably to reinforce the hinge. Such boxes are very hard to find, and house antique pieces beautifully. All in all a lovely and useful box for the Southern material cult...

Offered is a fine and scarce example of an early American coin silver pictureback spoon other than a birdback - in this case a sheaf-of-wheat back spoon by William Haverstick of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Haverstick family are the only silversmiths who offered a sheaf-of-wheat decoration on the backs of their spoons, and William Haverstick also made birdback spoons. This spoon is initialed in period script (perhaps "ED"), and the maker's mark and die-struck sheaf of wheat decoration to the b...

Alexander was not able to achieve success with the business, and possibly died early, as the business was passed on to his brother Henry Richardson, whose mark is somewhat more commonly seen.
