Does the name ATKIN & LABAGH mean anything to anybody please? It is on a normal, heavyish coin silver teaspoon c.1840... I can post pictures if it is worth it but thought I would start here and save time! Thanks! IP: Logged |

Always post an image as you may be reading the mark incorrectly or 15 other reasons. Please do not be offended by my comment as it is just a friendly suggestion. Besides everybody likes to see what it looks like even if the answer is unknown. IP: Logged |

It is all a question of time! Besides, I would have to clean the thing! If it really helps, I will try and do it on Sunday. Thanks. IP: Logged |

Oddly enough, on a totally unrelated matter, I recently came across in the 1860 Eastchester, Westchester Co. NY census one Jacob Labagh, jeweler, age 55. (b. ca. 1805, NY) and made note of it (as I always do whenever I find a silversmith or jeweler while hunting old census records.) I went back and checked and didn't find any nearby Atkin in some related profession but this is 20 years after the circa date of your spoon. IP: Logged |

John Labagh is a jeweller and John Atkin is a watchmaker at 262 Broadway in the 1839-40 Manhattan city directory. Jacob Labagh is also in this directory as a jeweller with the partial business address of 110 and the home address 139 Reade. IP: Logged |

von Khrum lists the firm of "Atkin & Labaugh 1838-1839, 262 Broadway. Watches.". John H Atkin worked from 1831 - 1847 at various addresses on Broadway, and in one or more other partnerships. He is listed as "Watches, jewelry, plated ware; importer." John Labaugh is listed from 1835 (Labaugh & Richards) - 1837 at 283 Broadway, and 1838 - 1839 at 262 Broadway. Jacob Labaugh was a jeweler listed from 1837 - 1850 at various addresses, including three on Reade, but none on on Broadway. It would appear then that John was Atkin's partner and not Jacob.

Yes, please. For those of us who don't see much coin silver, every picture that comes with commentary is interesting and valuable. If you have the time, posting a photo would be your good deed for the day. IP: Logged |

There is nothing about this spoon that would be inconsistent with the time and location already mentioned, so it provides no reason to question the attribution. IP: Logged |

The images look good to me, especially the one of the mark. IP: Logged |

Thank you, Silver Lyon. Excellent pictures and I enjoy the opportunity to learn about earlier coin silver. The evolution of shape and proportion is fascinating.
