Does anyone know if A Keim, Phila. is a retailer or maker of this Civil War era ladle? The engine turned design is so similar to James Watts and the bright cutting is like Geo. Sharp.

I tried diligently to identify this knife form but hit a dead end. It is Gorham Nuremberg pattern but the blade shape is the problem. Is it fruit or butter? Apparently a copy of original shapes exists out there as I found the same figure on one page of the tea knives[fig. F], but no butter or fruit ...

the mark is SGP in a triangle plus sterling. Wasn't there a seahorse specialist in Baltimore? stone is silver matrix lapis.

Pat,
your help was terriffic as all of about 30 pieces found were each marked with only half of the L making it to appear as an I.
With your help I located the pattern name, CELSA TRENZA .

PT 900 = platinum 90%
.750 = 18k gold, the yellow ring decoration shown in image is the 18k part
no information about the S trademark.

your charm most likely started life attached to an English chain with complete hallmarks on one part and 15ct on most individual parts/links etc. When removed you saw only one marking. IMHO
.

mark looks like Old English style G or H or maybe another letter in a circular format.

Thanks for the input but the mark on the silver is not theirs. BB&B sold and I have handled many dozens of their silver products with their name clearly stamped along with the makers mark of such firms as Dominic & Hoff and Gorham and several others. Only the leather was stamped with BB&...

Do any of the quite knowledgable folks out there know the formal name of athe 3-handled loving cup form?

John Scofield worked 1776-1790. His work is much more sophisticated than the spoons shown.
John Swift is shown in Jackson's book as well [dot not star] but identical letters and background stamp shape. A more likely candidate.
