Offered is a scarce pair of New Orleans coin silver teaspoons by noted silversmith Anthony Rasch, dating to the 1830s or 1840s and marked A.RASCH and N.ORLEANS with one of the "N"s backwards. These spoons are in the fiddle and shell pattern and are quite heavy for their size. They measure about 5 3/4 inches in length or a little under, and weigh a total of 46 grams. They each have worn but legible marks and a worn period script monogram...

Offered is a very rare set of four Philadelphia coin silver teaspoons, dating to the 1814-25 period, with a mark of R.WILSON in a rectangular punch. This mark is undocumented in Cathy Hollan's "Philadelphia Silversmiths", but is very likely the mark used by Robert Wilson Jr. from the time he began as a silversmith in 1814 until he joined his brother in partnership in 1825 when his father, Robert Wilson, Sr., passed away...

Offered is a quite rare example of the full name mark of Winchester, Virginia silversmith William L. Campbell (b. 1759 - d. 1815). This piece measures about 8 3/4 inches in length and weighs a good 55 grams. It bears a period engraved monogram of "B" to the handle, and has a clear maker's mark that is quite distinctive. A teapot in the Virginia Museum of History and Culture bears the same mark. According to the Museum, William L...

Offered is an incredibly well preserved American silver tablespoon by the noted partnership of Jehu and William L. Ward of Philadelphia, working as silversmiths between about 1837 and 1850. This piece bears a well-struck maker's mark for the partnership, as well as a period engraved set of "ES" owner's initials. This piece measures about 8 3/4 inches in length and weighs a heavy 48 grams. Condition overall is excellent, with minor signs of wear and normal use, but no dents, splits or repairs...

Offered is a very rare and early (circa 1820s-30s) Tennessee coin silver coffee spoon or small teaspoon by the father and son partnership of W. & S. Berson of Franklin. William Berson and his son Solomon worked together in Williamson County, Tennessee from 1833-1838. Judging by the style of this piece, they potentially worked together earlier than that. This spoon has an interesting period six-letter monogram - the longest I've seen...

Offered is a nice early 19th Century American coin silver spoon by Martin Moses (b. 1793 - d. 1893), who was working in Worcester, MA circa 1807 but by 1815 had moved to Somers, NY. By 1818 he had moved back to Massachusetts, but would return to NY state again later in his career. This spoon would seem to date to either his Worcester or Somers periods by style...

Offered is a nicely preserved pair of heavy American coin silver teaspoons from the 1850s or 1860s, with a retailer's mark of J. Hyman - I'm not sure if that mark is one used by the jeweler Joseph Hyman of Portsmouth, Virginia, the Joseph Hyman working later in San Francisco, or another J. Hyman somewhere else. In any event, this pair of Olive pattern type teaspoons measures about 6 1/4 inches in length, and weighs a total of 45 grams. Condition is excellent, with no issues noted...

Offered is a very rare set of five American coin silver teaspoons by little-known silversmith, watchmaker and jeweler Edward M. Bartlett, who was working in West Chester, PA circa 1834-40 and probably for a number of years before and after that date span. Each spoon is marked with Bartlett's maker's mark, and of interest each is marked WEST*CHESTER - these are the only coin silver spoons I've ever come across marked for this prosperous part of Pennsylvania...

Offered is a nice set of English Georgian sterling silver sugar tongs for everyday use; these have a maker's mark of IL and Georgian-era hallmarks for London, 1814, as well as a museum inventory mark from 1966. These were de-accessioned by a Southern institution and were acquired with a number of other pieces from the same de-accessioning. This set of tongs also has a gothic initial monogram, which probably replaced an original script monogram that was erased. These tongs measure about 5 1/2 ...

Offered is a lovely American coin silver egg spoon or large condiment (dry mustard or horseradish?) spoon by noted Philadelphia silversmith Thomas Whartenby, circa 1820, give or take five years. This piece was de-accessioned recently by a Southern institution, and judging by the museum inventory number to the reverse, it was originally gifted in 1966. This piece bears a good strike of Whartenby's initials maker's mark and the eagle head mark used in conjunction with that mark. It measures abo...

Offered is an early 19th Century American coin silver sugar tongs, deaccessioned from a Southern museum, but which were made by Cazenovia/Pompey, New York silversmith and clockmaker Jehiel Clark (1764 or 1781-1855), who was working in Cazenovia by about 1808 or 1810, and worked for several decades before turning over his business to his son. This piece is marked J.CLARK in a rectangular punch, with a large standing eagle mark that McGrew attributes to a New York manufacturer (Foster). This se...

This is an interesting teaspoon with some British Colonial aspects, which may or may not be American coin silver, Canadian, or something else. If anyone can solve this with a solid attribution, they will win a coin silver teaspoon or $15 off their next order - their choice! This piece measures about 5 3/8 inches in length and weighs about 19 grams. It is marked CS in a primitive punch (could be GS, but more likely CS). All in all an enigmatic piece, with a standard British-style period scrip...

Offered is a nice American coin silver sugar shell in the fiddlethread pattern, by Edwin J Baldwin and Jeremiah McLene, working in partnership in Indianapolis, Indiana circa 1853-1859. This piece has a worn period script monogram and a maker's mark or jeweler's mark of E.J.BALDWIN&CO., which is still legible (see pics). This piece measures about 6 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 29 grams. Condition is fair overall, with some surface wear but no dents, splits or repairs. All in all a ni...

Offered is a very scarce pair of early 19th Century American coin silver teaspoons by important Philadelphia silversmith John D. Germon (1751-1829), whose work is featured in many public collections but which is rarely seen in the marketplace. This pair of teaspoons dates to about the last fifteen years of Germon's active period, which seems to have ended around 1825. Each spoon is marked with Germon's maker's mark, and is engraved "CME" in period script for the original owner(s). These spoon...

Offered is an excellent American coin silver long-handled condiment spoon or ladle, done in the Prince Albert pattern and engraved with a good period script set of initials. The maker's mark or retailer's mark of William Boning on this piece is W.BONING incuse; it is one of two William Boning marks recently discovered, the other being in a rectangular punch. Neither mark appears in "Philadelphia Silversmiths" by Catherine Hollan, probably due to the rarity of pieces marked by this man. This pi...

All in all a nice useful Philadelphia coin silver table spoon!

Offered is a scarce and attractive pair of 19th Century neoclassical Italian silver spoons, by a silversmith named Castagna or Castagma, who I've not found anything about. In addition to the maker's mark, each spoon is marked with a fineness mark of 800. These spoons probably date to the second or third quarter of the 19th Century, judging by the marks and the style. They measure a bit over 5 1/2 inches in length and weigh a total of about 26 grams for the pair. Condition overall is very goo...
