Two coin spoons...

[rynegold]

They're not marked but they are coin. So I went to the "maker's marks" part of our website here and find that Seymore "partnered" w/someone most of the time but I don't find this exact stamp. That said can anyone date either one of these? The Seymore Hollister is pretty rough.

The silver ware from the works of Seymour & Hollister, fully sustains the high reputation of this important branch of home industry.

Thanks Trev! and yes; I'll remember next time about the"one at a time" rule.... these just didn't seem important enough for the xtra bandwidth. I just thought it odd though that they aren't even marked coin! So do you figure that both are antebellum items? I've never fooled w/coin much but find it really interesting. So lightly made! well; for the most part.

Hi Mitch,

Yes, I think it's likely.
