Here is an alleged Tiffany server I picked up a while ago, I've always wondered if it really is Tiffany. The faux marks are unusual, never seen them before on Tiffany flatware. Also can't find the pattern. Very well made and heavy. IP: Logged |

  The H, star, anchor marks are attributed to Henry Hebbard and Co. of NYC by John McGrew in his book “Manufacturers' Marks on American Coin Silver”. Hebbard was a supplier to Tiffany from when Tiffany was started as Tiffany, Young and Ellis. I think Dr. McGrew’s book is still available if you care to write or call him at the address given.

Very interesting. Thanks for the research, I wasn't aware of Hebbard—based on period he was mainly a coin silver worker. Hood shows a photo of a Hebbard pattern from 1859, in the middle of the Polhamus era, that is attached. I couldn't find this pattern anywhere, it was probably a custom.  IP: Logged |

Should have said I can't find the pattern of my scoop anywhere, it must have been a custom. IP: Logged |

These are some of the named Henry Hebbard patterns. I suspect that ones that are not named did not have enough sales to justify a name. Your berry spoon with a strawberry pattern most likely came out when the strawberries were at the height of their popularity and may have had limited success in a crowded field. It really is quite attractive. I think if authors of today were going to print a limited interest book but extremely useful reference like the McGrew book they should consider the book on demand approach that I often see used today. A book club that I am in is reading one now by Marta Molnar entitled Girl Braiding her Hair and it is a book on Demand on Demand type. IP: Logged |

Wow, Hebbard certainly did have a stylistic range, from neo-Classical, to baroque, to minimalist Federal! IP: Logged |
