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 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...

This piece has a period engraved block letter monogram and a museum accession number - it was deaccessioned in recent years by a Southern institution...

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 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.
