nihontochicken Posts: 289 Registered: May 2003	posted 12-25-2004 11:44 PM I have a soft spot for female silversmiths. Well, not them personally, but their products. Given the same predilection for female silversmiths on behalf of many perhaps better-heeled collectors, I'm not confident that I can best their "market" bids. But I suppose it can't hurt to put up a lightning rod here. So far I have obtained (all flatware): Mary Ashworth Sarah (and John) Blake Alice (and George) Burrows Mary Chawner Eliz. Eaton Mary Matthew (tough one!) Elizabeth Oldfield "H.C.ROBINSON" (Hannah? Probably not.) Anne Robertson (minty!) Elizabeth Tookey Hannah Walker Have not tried for Hester, lots available, but generally overpriced. Anyway, let's give it a try, maybe trade? Thanks!!! 1/18/05 edit: Added Hannah Walker, obtained via response to this notice. Lightning struck! Also let out some of the verbose air in original post.

nihontochicken Posts: 289 Registered: May 2003	posted 12-31-2004 06:04 PM Yep, got it, ahwt, nice book. Just lost out on an Anne Hill spoon on eBay, went for a good thirty percent above my bid. As I feared, interest is picking up in this area. Someday I may like something where I'm not last to the table! IP: Logged
