Offered is an interesting American coin silver teaspoon circa 1848, in a pattern I haven't seen before, and which seems to be quite rare. This pattern was apparently patented in 1848, judging by the mark on the spoon, and the spoon was retailed by John and James Cox of New York, NY. The manufacturer may or may not have used a "W" mark, which has a journeyman's mark or tally mark next to it...
