In short, I picked up a bundle of silverware wrapped in masking tape with a $12 tag for all. Inside, there are 11 spoon silver spoons from four different makers. Here are the ones I have identified as DBH & Co (DB Hammond & Co) circa 1833-1837.

Can anyone tell me more on these?

Hello.

Looks like D.B. Hinman & Company to me.

It is now suspected that the mark is D. B. Hempstead & Co, based on pieces with a Georgia provenance.

This is not expected to be the last word on the subject, but I can say that none of the U S Census's from 1820 through 1880 for Georgia list any of the parties mentioned in association with DBH & Co with the exception of Daniel Hammond.

I agree it is D.B. Hindman & Co.

The hallmark does match perfectly with the one provided here in http://www.925-1000.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Thank You for the replies everyone. I am still not believing I found these, and the others posted, for
$12 at an area Goodwill. I have some knives which I think are also from the period but have not been able
to identify their pattern.
