park1226 Posts: 102 Registered: Jun 2005	posted 10-29-2009 08:21 PM [26-1918] Good evening, Since my last post I have been able to identify the makers for the coin silver pieces in my collection except for one. It is a pair of salt spoons that are stamped "N STODDARD" all in caps on the back. The are no other markings. I have searched the forum and a number of online sources to determine whether this is a retailer or silversmith. I found an Elisha Mason Stoddard from Connecticut but that is the only silversmith with this surname. Can anyone help me a id this mark and the location where it was produced? Thanks. IP: Logged

It would help to see a picture of the spoon and of the mark to see whether or not it fits this area and period stylistically. IP: Logged

After receiving you post I searched and found this link on another forum that shows his hallmark. Irish American Spoon? The link refers to page 49 of McGrew's book Thanks again for your help IP: Logged
