labarbedor Posts: 353 Registered: Jun 2002	posted 05-01-2003 07:12 PM I know this was retailed by E.A.Tyler but I don't recognize the maker's mark. It looks like S?J the center letter could by an H. Does anyone know this one? IP: Logged
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 05-01-2003 08:01 PM The SHJ stands for Samuel H. Johnson of New York City. He worked in various partnerships, and his main output seems to have been flatware (see Rainwater for details). A number of early coin silver patterns can be traced to him, but you don't see his trademark all that often. Nice to see it here! Brent IP: Logged
