I am trying to id some coin silver pieces that I have. On the serving spoons, I see only "Pure Coin" and "E. CHUBBUCK PREMIUM". On the teaspoons, I see two different marks -one with "E. Chubbuck" "Premium" a flower, S in a circle backstamp, and eagle and a star. The other teaspoon has the same flower, S in a circle backstamp, and eagle, but also has another figural stamp and the J.S & Co on these. Any idea who the marker is (or who the markers are?). Thanks.  IP: Logged |

J. S. & Co and the flower/S/eagle mark are Joseph Seymour & Company of Syracuse NY and were used c 1850-1887. E. Chubbuck and his son worked in Lockport NY c 1850, probably just as retailers. IP: Logged |

Elijah Chubbuck of Lockport, NY in 1850 is a watchrepairer, in 1860 he is a jeweller, and in 1870 he is a retail merchant. This gentleman was born around 1818, And his wife's name was Roby or Ruby? [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 08-25-2008).] IP: Logged |

The word 'Premium' is used to indicate silver standard. Also used were 'Dollar', 'Coin' but I believe that practice stopped mid 19th century when Sterling Silver came into use. Coin Silver or .900 continues to be made today. I wish people would quite using the term 'Coin Silver' as it implies silver made from coins; I would rather see 'Early American Silver' used. This was true prior to around 1790's but most silver used by silversmiths after the approximate 1790's date was being manufactured using 'Rolling Mills' introduced from England. This saved a lot of time and expense as they no longer had to Assay, Melt, Pour and Flatten the silver by hand using large/heavy hammers.
