Silver Smith?

[PW333abc]

Hello!

I would be very grateful for helpful help. I have 2 spoons that I assume are made in America. They are stamped CF Hurd, I suppose it's the retailer? What I wonder is who the silver smith is and when they can be made?

Best regards

Full image of piece could determine earliest possible date by pattern.

I'm afraid he was simply on a committee on deceased members of the Jewelers Association in 1921. Charles Frost Hurd was born in 1853 in New York and died there in 1929.

Quite right S. Guess I got lazy on blowing up the images. Here's a link to local obits (scroll way down): http://orleans.nygenweb.net/obits/obith3.htm

JC indicates he retired about 10 years earlier (c.1919), so that should be the cut off >if< the firm closed then.
