John Cook Spoon

Post by AGHEAD »

I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone had information about the composition of John Cook flatware. I recently picked up a teaspoon that was marked with the horizontal diamonds connected with a circle, inside are the initials J and C <J>0<C>, the maker mark of John Cook. To the left of the makers mark is the word "Parmelee".

Anyhow I was wondering if anyone knew whether this is coin silver or silver plated. And/or what the Parmelee refers to, is the spoon made in the pattern of 1700 century Parmelee.

Anyhow, thanks for any information anyone might have.

I would take this to be coin silver, and Parmelee is likely to be the retailer. It is too difficult for me to tell exactly which Parmelee this might be for sure from just an incised mark of a last name. Good luck with your research.
