I have a collection of some sterling, plus some fifty or so coin silver spoons, accumulated over the last couple decades. My main interest at this point is in figuring out when these spoons were made (I assume mostly 19th century, but maybe some are earlier?) This site looks like a *great* resource with the list of coin silver makers and marks that I need to spend more time researching, but I already know that some of the makers are not listed. And some of the listed ones made flatware over many decades, so even knowing the maker doesn't pin down the date that precisely. I have run across names for various spoon styles, but haven't found a page that identifies the different styles (coffin, tombstone, etc.) along with the dates when they were popular. I know that styles aren't necessarily definitive - e.g. Revere style bowls are still being made hundreds of years later. But it gives you a "can't be earlier than" date, and it appears that styles are useful in silver as they are in furniture; as fashion changes and the new stsyles replace the old. Can anyone point me to a page or online website that gives this information? Thank you in advance. I hope to post some more specific pictures and questions soon. IP: Logged |
