Hello, Does anybody have any information on this maker? I have two pictures to look at. I am sure this is spoon silver. Thanks, Dave

Hello.
My books show a William P. Poindexter, Lexington, Kentucky (Born 1792, died 1869) who worked c. 1820-1859.
Also his son William A. Poindexter (Born 1818, died 1884).
Book does not show a picture of their marks.

Pat.

Here's crude facsimile of one each of their marks.
