Early Portland, Maine Coffin End Coin Silver Spoon by Enoch Moulton

Offered is a scarce example of the work of Enoch Moulton, a member of the famous Newburyport, MA family of silversmiths, but one who forged his own way in Portland, ME during his short (ca. 1780-1815) life. Because he only worked from about 1800-15 and the Maine market for silver was small, there are few extant pieces bearing his maker's mark. This fine large teaspoon measures about 6 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 14 grams. It is engraved with nicely executed period script initials of "ES". Condition overall is fairly good, with the bowl being slightly out of round but with no splits or repairs. All in all a fine early Maine silver spoon!
