Beautifully Made Coin Silver Teaspoon by Thomas Sargeant, Ca. 1805-10

Offered is a really lovely early 19th Century American coin silver spoon made by Thomas Sargeant (fl. 1795-1821), who worked in Springfield, Massachusetts. Thomas took over the shop of his brother Jacob in 1795 when Jacob moved to Connecticut. This spoon is engraved with a [period script monogram of "CF" and the back of the handle also has a 19th Century engraved date of 1793 (presumably the birth date or marriage date of the original owner). Thomas Sargeant's maker's mark well struck and very legible. This spoon measures about 5 3/8 inches in length and weighs about 10 grams. Condition is excellent, with minimal wear and no dents, splits or repairs. All in all a lovely example of handmade early American silver by a noted silversmith!
