<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4460469, member: 10944"]Got this spoon in a lot at auction. From a very high end silver collectors estate. It’s pretty rough but I’d like to ID it still. The maker I can find that makes the most sense is James Reed or his son James R Reed working in Washington and Pittsburgh PA respectively. The father and son had a joint venture James R Reed & Co.. I can’t find evidence of this mark anywhere though. I’d think it would be an earlier mark if it belonged to their joint venture as their later mark this definitely isn’t. I checked some usual sources and my Flynt & Fales book. I believe the serrated marks are usually first half of 19th century. The shape also I believe is usually from that era? Is there a term for the shape of the upper handle? Figured I would check here…[ATTACH=full]384654[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]384655[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]384656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
