This set of six, 6" long, 3.0 T. oz. the group, coin silver spoons are all marked "Root & Chaffee" along with a right facing "eagle" emblem.
William Root and Frederick Chaffee were located in Pittsfield, in the Berkshires region of Western Massachusetts, and were in partnership 1830-1849.
These have Fiddle handles with Tipt backs and are all engraved in fancy, feathered script, lettering, "E T Boyd" on the fronts.
In very good condition, they are free of wear or damage such as bends, dents, or tears, and have warm patinas. The bowls are well-shaped, with softly pointed tips and smooth interiors, with one having a slight bit of pebbling.
All in all, these are an appealing, intact, set of six 19th century spoons of regional note.
