Cape silver teaspoon - Daniel Beets

Postby rat-tail » Sun Jul 01, 2012 3:17 pm

Hi All
I was lucky to find a few pieces of Cape silver recently and thought I would post in case anyone was interested in the marks. This a rather well used teaspoon by Daniel Beets. Beets was the illegitimate son of Balthus Wilhelm Beets of Neubrandenburg and Angana of the Cape. He married Anna Bedekker in 1794 and was known to be trading from 1812 to 1828. His son Daniel Godlieb Beets was born in 1795 and was also a silversmith trading 1836-1855. This is mark 11 in Weltz. Info from Weltz.
The spoon itself has a bit of a German feel to it - especially at the shoulders. - Regards Frank
