<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 605595, member: 59&quot;]The combination of markings makes no sense. Benjamin Coleman was working in the late 1700&#039;s and early 1800&#039;s in New Jersey and New York - he&#039;s the only B Coleman in the references I checked and the documented marks for him match what I see on your spoon. Why the spoon would be engraved with a 1723 date is a puzzle. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect some kind of fakery, but not sure what or how.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
