<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 135173, member: 111&quot;]Your coin silver spoons are John Polhamus&#039; &#039;Louis XIV&#039; pattern, 1847 design patent #114 issued to John C. Moore.&nbsp; The simple incuse &#039;W. Adams&#039; mark is much more typical of a retailer&#039;s mark - not where I check any references at the moment, but New York silversmith William L. Adams&#039; mark was &#039;W. Adams&#039; and &#039;New.York&#039;, two separate marks, struck intaglio in serrated edge cartouche.&nbsp; Suppose he could have been acting as retailer, but may have been a different &#039;W. Adams&#039; entirely...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
