vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 02-13-2011 10:48 AM [01-2906] Well maybe this is a bit of a stretch but I found the interlocking hearts and arrows on this handled basket valentinish. Any others? IP: Logged
denimrs Posts: 102 Registered: Dec 2005	posted 02-13-2011 05:00 PM vathek, Those arrows and hearts are perfect and lovely. My offering is probably a stretch, though, but here it is anyway. This is a leather wallet with sterling gold washed corners by Shiebler. I think I see a cupid and pair of lovebirds in each corner. IP: Logged
agphile Posts: 798 Registered: Apr 2008	posted 02-14-2011 08:32 AM Pincushion, London 1894. Maker’s mark worn. Exeter trefid spoon (town mark only) with engraved heart, perhaps symbolic of the union recorded by the pricking on the back of the stem: EM over HM over 1685. I may have shown this spoon before in which case apologies for the repetition. IP: Logged
Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 02-14-2011 02:11 PM A pair of Dominick & Haff salts from my grandmother: A pair of putti, one on an unmarked demitasse spoon with traces of gilt (if anyone knows anything about it, please enlighten me) and one on a jam spoon (that's what I use it for, anyway) marked Sterling Pat'd 1878, with what looks like Albert Coles's mark (but weren't they out of business by then?): IP: Logged

Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 02-14-2011 10:58 PM Love everybody's hearts & cupids--happy Valentine's Day! Thanks for the Shiebler Cupids link, Scott. It figures that out of the whole orchestra I end up with the triangle. That's what my grade-school music teacher used to give me to play in the class performances. You can guess what she thought of my musical talent. IP: Logged

dragonflywink Posts: 993 Registered: Dec 2002	posted 03-08-2011 09:04 PM Coming in a bit late - but some very nice pieces here! Especially like the Exeter spoon and the Potter Studio piece. Here are five little late 19th-early 20th century American love/friendship spoons from Mom's collection, the love-knot salt spoon is about 2½", the others range in size from roughly 4"-4½", all marked only with simple sans-serif STERLING, and all have at least a bit of gilding. The center plique-a-jour piece is fairly uncommon. An 1891 ad for Everett's Souvenir Love Spoon (U.S. design patent #D21034): Three from my collection, a Good Luck spoon with a heart outlined in the bowl, originally made by Redlich (U.S. design patent #D21879) but mine is a bit later by L.D. Anderson; a gilt love spoon with enameled yellow roses; and a Whist/Bridge spoon by Campbell-Metcalf with a sheet silver ribbon winding around the stem. ~Cheryl IP: Logged
