E(zra) B(eers) Booth & Son, Rochester

[wlwhittier]

I am probably missing something here; I cannot find an American silversmith nor a picture of his mark listed in this forum.

E.B. BOOTH & SON

Reputedly 1861-1888, Rochester, N.Y.

I have five teaspoons so marked; there are NO other marks on them, but they are certainly silver, either coin or sterling.

Is this maker shown on this forum, and I've overlooked it?

I'll furnish pics if necessary. Thank you, all!

Hi,

Yes, it would be great if you could post some images of the spoons and marks.

In the meantime, details of Ezra Beers Booth & Son can be found here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.anc ... 136680.htm

Thanks, Trev, for the genealogy link.

There's no 'rat-tail' on the back of the bowl; (that pic was too large).

Total weight 2.73 oz T; avg .546 oz each, not as wimpy as some.

Is the monogram a "C"?

Here's the best I could do with my meager skills; I still haven't fully figured out how to use.
