Author	Topic: American coin or continental
doc Posts: 728 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 09-30-2012 09:51 PM I found two shell coin teaspoons, and have been struggling to find the marks. They make me wonder if they are Continental. The marks follow the spoons to which they are associated. IP: Logged

doc Posts: 728 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 10-02-2012 10:12 PM Thank you both; if not confirmed, you have validated my initial reaction. The marks, the squared off end and the double swell design on the one spoon all point to Continental. Nice spoons in any event, I think. IP: Logged
