Author	Topic: Premium master salt spoon
Marc Posts: 414 Registered: Jun 2002	posted 11-11-2008 03:26 PM Hi all, Rummaging through my misc coin box, I found this little gem. A 'premium' master salt spoon by Willard & Hawley, with a 1850 date on the back, along with the word "PREMIUM", and the county... Unfortunately, I cannot make out the spelling of the county, probably due to a contraction, and a little wear. Also, on the front, the winner's last name begins with either a "C" or a "G". Could be either. Any input would be appreciated.. Thanks for your help as always. Marc IP: Logged

They worked in Syracuse NY and Syracuse is in Onondaga county. That is a capital G so it is Gere.
