Offered is a very rare pair of Southern coin silver teaspoons by Masi & Co., each bearing a period engraved script "CV" monogram, and each with an unrecorded early MASI&CO mark in a rectangular punch. The mark on these spoons is different from the later F. Masi & Co., mark for Frank Masi & Co., and possibly dates to his first partnership with his sons Vincent and Seraphim, circa 1825-26. The mark on these spoons will likely be used in an upcoming book on DC silversmiths...

This brief partnership, conducted at the Washington Navy Yard, lasted only from December 1808 through the end of August 1809, when it was dissolved by mutual consent. Silver bearing the mark of this partnership is of course extremely rare, and this set of dessert spoons with extremely well preserved maker's marks is very likely the best s...
