I think you're right...

Hi - I am wondering if anyone can recommend a book on sterling flatware patterns that lists/shows the pattern and then specifics on each individual piece - for example: Gorham Strausbourg Pattern: a dinner fork is 7.5" long and weighs 47 grams, a teaspoon is 6" long and weighs 23 grams, th...

There was a Gustave La Baume working in Halifax, NS in 1838 - listed as a jeweler/silversmith... no mark shown.

I wish there was a better - updated -- book on Canadian Silver other than Langdon's. Does anyone know of another one?

could this possibly be Provincial ? I too could not find a matching Coleman mark...

maybe it's just me... but I can't make out the markers mark on your spoon. how did you arrive at MM ? Can you see it up close? Tks

This is from a list of Maine Jewelers - don't know if it is any match:

Hartford, G. W. C.: JLY & W, Sanford, 1882

Can I ask where you found the maker James Bryan Hill of TN? What reference book or website? I can't seem to locate him. Tks

thank you for posting this spoon. any idea what the little mark on the right signifies?

NICE spoons...

William Ball maybe?

If you had to have one book for Provincial & Colonial marks - what would you suggest someone obtain ? Tks

kiwi birds ?

This mark is on a serving spoon and is very unique but I have not been able to find him... I Cook is what I think it says... Any info appreciated...

these look "white metal" to me...

just bought it. tks.

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...
