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. Bartlett's silver seems to be quite rare as well - he may have focused more on clocks and watches. These spoons measure about 5 3/4 inches in length on average, and weigh a total of 83 grams. Each spoon is engraved "EP" in period script. Condition overall is good, with some bowls slightly out of round and the usual signs of use, but no splits or repairs. Please review all of the pictures. All in all a great set by a rare maker with a desirable city mark!
