Offered is a nicely engraved early 19th Century coffin-end coin silver spoon by New York City silversmith William Garret Forbes (1751-1840), who is listed in NY directories at least through 1809. This spoon should date to the 1800-09 period by style. It bears one of Mr. Forbes' known maker's marks, and is engraved with period script initials of "DB". This piece measures a bit over 5 1/4 inches in length and weighs about 12 grams...

Offered is a scarce example of the work of Enoch Moulton, a member of the famous Newburyport, MA family of silversmiths, but one who forged his own way in Portland, ME during his short (ca. 1780-1815) life. Because he only worked from about 1800-15 and the Maine market for silver was small, there are few extant pieces bearing his maker's mark. This fine large teaspoon measures about 6 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 14 grams...

Offered is a good late 18th Century Philadelphia coin silver teaspoon (measuring about 5 5/8 inches in length and weighing 17 grams) by famous silversmith Joseph Richardson, Jr. - this spoon is engraved with period script initials and is rare in that it is stuck twice with an incised rather than intaglio mark of JR...

Offered is a scarce example of the work of Connecticut silversmith Judah Hart, who during his career was mostly in partnerships - this coffin-end coin silver teaspoon initialed "AG" in period script was probably made either between 1800-02 or 1807-10, when he is believed to have been working alone. Mr. Hart's maker's mark is struck clearly on this spoon, along with his fascinating pseudo-hallmark of an index hand. This spoon measures about 5 1/4 inches in length and weighs about 8 grams...

This piece should date to about 1800-1805, give or take a couple of years. This spoon is engraved with period block initials of "EB". This spoon measures about 5 1/16 inches in length and weighs about 7 grams...

Offered is a scarce example of the silverwork of Amos Doolittle (1754-1832), a New Haven, Connecticut silversmith. Mr. Doolittle is equally well known for having served in the American Revolution; he was one of the men who marched under the command of later turncoat Benedict Arnold in the Spring of 1775. He was also a founder of the Governor's Foot Guard...

Offered is a good pair of American coin silver spectacles by Henry Sargeant of Springfield, MA and later Hartford, CT. These bear Sargeant's maker's mark, and a town mark for Springfield, so they date to his working period in that town of 1825-40. These spectacles measure about 4 3/4 inches across, and weigh about 29 grams...

Offered is a very nice 1790s Philadelphia coin silver teaspoon by silversmith Matthias Lamar (fl. 1785-1809), of whom relatively little is known.

To the reverse is a full-name mark of LAMAR, given to Matthias by Catherine Hollan in her book "Philadelphia Silversmiths." This spoon measures about 5 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 8 grams...

Offered is a nice early 19th Century Boston coin silver teaspoon by Robert Evans (1768-1812), working circa 1788-1810 at shops on Ann Street and then Hanover Street. This piece is marked with one of his maker's marks and is also engraved "RP" in period script. The style is transitional between pointed-end, coffin-end and fiddle, and such pieces were made only for a brief time. This spoon measures about 5 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 7 grams...

Offered is a nice American coin silver fork in the Queen's pattern or a variant thereof, by noted maker William Ingalls Tenney (1806-1848), probably dating to the 1820s before he went into partnership in 1828. This piece measures about 6 5/8 inches in length and weighs a very good 36 grams. This fork has a well-struck maker's mark and a partly legible address mark for Tenney's Broadway shop in New York City. It is also engraved to the front with a set of period initials, and was a gift piece....

Offered is a good 1790s American coin silver teaspoon by noted silversmith Thomas Arnold (1735-1828), who worked in Newport circa 1760-1817. Mr. Arnold had the interesting habit of marking many of his spoons, like this one, with both his initials mark and his full name mark. He was also interesting in that he was a prominent citizen of Newport. Per his Wikipedia entry, "According to the Newport Mercury of September 12, 1774, he received a master's degree from college in Providence, where ...

Offered is a lovely and well-made George III sterling silver gravy ladle or sauce ladle hallmarked for London, 1772, and engraved with an armorial of an eagle's head or perhaps phoenix's head erased. The maker's mark is squeezed, but appears to be "?W" over "?T" - the year is too early for Wakelin and Taylor, so someone else. This piece is very nicely made, better than the usual, and the engraving is also very good. This ladle measures about 6 3/4 inches in length and weighs about 53 grams. ...

Offered is a fine and rare early 19th Century American coin silver teaspoon by little known clockmaker, watchmaker and silversmith Frederick Ezra Nusz (ca. 1799-1832), who was listed in directories only in 1818-19, but likely worked a few more years. There are seven known clocks with his name affixed, and occasionally flatware or a watch paper appears. This is a lovely and well-made teaspoon, measuring about 5 3/4 inches in length and weighing about 15 grams. It is engraved with period script...

Offered is a nice example of a form and style particular to Baltimore in the 1820s-40s, a spatulate swell-handled spoon with pointed Philadelphia-style shoulders and a monogram perched almost mid-way down the handle. In this case, the period script initials are "AHS". This piece bears a maker's mark for Samuel Kirk, and a 10:15 fineness mark for the silver quality. This spoon measures about 5 5/8 inches in length and weighs a good 25 grams. Condition is good overall, with signs of normal use...

Offered is a set of six dessert spoons by the scarce maker Daniel F. Roberts, working 1850-51 in Philadelphia, PA. This set was featured in the book "Philadelphia Silversmiths" by Catherine Hollan, and the mark on them was used for that book. This is the only example of Daniel F. Roberts' mark yet found - not surprising considering his very short working life of about a year or less. These spoons measure about 7 3/8 inches in length and weigh about 231 grams. They are each engraved with ...

Offered is a delicate and much loved American coin silver teaspoon by Hagerstown, MD silversmith Henry Biershing (1790-1843), circa 1815. This piece is engraved "EVP" in period script and has a clear, well-struck maker's mark. It measures about 5 inches in length and weighs about 9 grams. Condition is fair, with lots of little dings and scratches to the bowl, and some surface wear to the handle (see all pictures), but no splits or repairs. All in all a very nice example of this sought-after ...
