Offered is a beat-up late 18th Century (probably 1790s) American coin silver teaspoon by noted maker William Garret Forbes, working circa 1786-1809 if not earlier and later. This spoon is in poor shape in terms of wear to the bowl, but it does have one good feature, which is the very scarce example of Forbes' initials-only maker's mark of WF with a pellet between. This is similar to but probably not one of William Faris' marks. This teaspoon is decorated in 1790s style and does not have a mon...

Offered is a really lovely early 19th Century American coin silver spoon made by Thomas Sargeant (fl. 1795-1821), who worked in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Offered is a very nice and colorful 19th Century American jeweler trade card for T. R. Hand of Philadelphia, featuring a charming theme of two children riding a giant grasshopper. This card measures about 4 7/8 inches wide by about 3 1/4 inches high. It probably dates to the 1870s, but could be a little earlier or later. Condition is very good overall, with some areas of rubbing or discoloration as would be expected. All in all a nice example of a hard-to-find piece of ephemera!

Offered is a nice watch paper from the 1840s, made for and used by Canandaigua, New York watchmaker and jeweler Oscar E. Sibley. The paper bears a date of May 7, 1847 on the back, presumably the date he serviced a watch. This watch paper, done in orange paper with a black design, is still in the shape of the watch body, and is in decent condition though crumpled and split at the edges as these typically are. It measures around 1 7/8 inches across. All in all a nice example of ephemera relati...

Offered is a very scarce example of the wares and mark of Jacob Goodlive & Co., working in St. Joseph, Missouri in the 1860s. This mark is so uncommon that Norman Mack was unable to find a single example in 20 years of intensively collecting and studying Missouri coin silver, and his book "Missouri's Silver Age" states that not a single example has been found. This heavy tablespoon is engraved with a period script monogram and has good clear marks. It measures about 8 inches in length and wei...

This Virginia coin silver spoon should date to the 1783-1807 period during which Geddy was working in Petersburg. This piece has a period engraved block letter monogram and a museum accession number - it was deaccessioned in recent years by a Southern institution. It also has a good ...

Offered is a nice pair of American coin silver spoons by Pittsburgh jeweler and watchmaker Henry Richardson, working circa 1850-65. Henry was the brother of Alexander Richardson, and inherited his business sometime around 1850. The mark on these spoons, H.RICHARDSON in a serrated rectangular punch, is often mis-attributed to a Providence, RI jeweler of the same name; however, these spoons have a unique style and proportions common amongst Pittsburgh spoons of this specific period, and spoons w...

Offered is a nice American coin silver teaspoon by New York City silversmith Henry Edwin Hoyt, working there between 1812 and 1852. This piece is easily dated thanks to the year punch of "1826", near the maker's mark. Not sure how long Hoyt did this, but it isn't common. This piece has a clear maker's mark, and a period engraved script monogram. It measures about 5 7/8 inches in length, and weighs about 15 grams. Aside from a little tip wear, it is in good shape with modest surface wear fro...
