<p>[QUOTE="TRexx, post: 9547733, member: 82827"]Hello, I wrote a long response to this last night but it was not posted. ? I think I may have solved our mystery. I searched for “ coin silver knife” on EBay and found a match in pseudo marks. I found two similar knives in a berry pattern. One has just the three</p><p>marks, the other has the three marks and the name C Bard & Son. I looked him up and he was a Philadelphia silversmith active in 1825 and 1850. Was there a requirement at some point to stamp or engrave a name in addition to the maker’s marks? I will post a photo of the EBay find.[ATTACH=full]454957[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
