Is this book on English silver worth having ?

Marks of the London Goldsmiths and Silversmiths (c1697-1837) by Fallon

Thanks for the link and info. Did they do one style before the other ?

I think what you mean by "front tipped" & "back tipped" is that the end of the handle turns either up in front or down in back. Is that right? Does that signify anything dating wise? Did they do one style earlier than the other ? I've seen this on other spoons by other makers...

There is an Elisha Johnson of Greensboro, NC working around circa 1840 who "repaired clocks and watches and made silver spoons to order". Also an E. Jones from Baltimore, MD., circa 1820. Both don't have marks listed. An Eliza Jones of NY, circa 1827-1833, but his mark is listed differentl...

The spoon has a coin silver "feel" to it with some springiness in the handle. I am hoping it is American and have been trying to find makers whose initials are EJ. Have found a couple so far that fit into the time frame of 1815-1845 which I think this falls into. Came across the website op...

here is a closeup view of the mark....

thanks for trying. i'll have to research that general area. the info is (likely) out there somewhere...

this spoon xrf tested 91.8% silver... the plot thickens...

Trying to locate the maker of this spoon which has the mark "E pellet J". 9" coin silver serving spoon. Would anyone know who this is? Any info. appreciated. http://i64.tinypic.com/2hyaq2p.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/344faqq.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/33esqxd.jpg

Thank you very much. I was way off. Searched Greencock on the web and it looks like a beautiful place. Appreciate the help identifying this piece.

Not sure if this is the right section but posting here. This is on a serving spoon that looks to be from the late 1700's. There is actually another mark before the anchor but it is very faded. Can anyone identify? Tks. http://i63.tinypic.com/33kzx36.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/1183ubl.jpg http://i68....

I don't think the R Parker spoon is an Eagle back. Someone described that design as a "pea foul".

very nice spoons.

Thank you. Hiding in plain sight the whole time. Explains the price realized at recent auction and the stylistic elements of French influence.

the items that might see an early grave are damaged beyond what anyone could want them for other than melting them down for silver value or reused for new projects. primarily later machine made coin silver and not early hand made silver. can't keep everything and i'd rather move onto other items in ...

Thank you.

Wonder if anyone has had damaged coin silver spoons melted down (American makers), and if so - what the approximate silver content of them turned out to be. I have a growing pile of bent, split and severely dented spoons from various makers and date ranges which may eventually see that fate. Any inf...

a few people must have known who it is...
