Offered is a nice "married" (matched up later, but not an original pair) set of two Victorian English sterling silver master salt spoons in the desirable Onslow pattern, popular in the 18th Century. Each spoon is by noted silversmith Charles Stuart Harris (whose biographical details appear below), and it appears one spoon was assayed in 1885, and the other in 1890. The hallmarks and maker's mark appear on the bowl of one spoon, and on the handle of the other, and one spoon has a gilt bowl whil...

This teaspoon is not monogrammed, and bears a mark of G? that may or may not be an F, an H or something else. By style, it should date to between 1805 and 1830.

Offered is an excellent pair of American coin silver spoons by the little-known partnership of Titlow & Fry, working in Philadelphia circa 1844-48.

This pair of spoons is heavy and well made; the spoons measure about 6 1/8 inches in length on average, and weigh a total of about 41 grams. In additio...

Offered is a good American coin silver teaspoon by Boston silversmith Joseph Foster (1759-1839), an apprentice of Benjamin Burt.

This piece measures about 6 1/4 inches in length and weighs about 14 grams. ...
