[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 32821, member: 44"]> I could not get the Christie's page to load correctly.< I finally got a Christie page of that listing to open; however, it is not the main page. It is enlargements of the snuff box pics - no pic of the marks.

Guey as location unknown,< I didn't think of checking Rainwater. Hmmmm.... I can't find "E. Guey" in my copy of Rainwater., 5th edition. The only Gu... listed are Lewis Guienot and A.T. Gunner. Two of Kovel's silver books (notorious for errors) have "E. Guey" with more or less what you found on E. Guey in your edition of Rainwater: "E. Guey (c. 1820) Location unknown Bibl. 24" Bibliography 24 is Ensko, Stephen G.C. [I]American SIlversmiths & Their Marks III. [/I]Hmmmm... let me look at Ensko again. Gee, I sure can't find it in my paperback copy of Ensko (American Silversmiths and Their Marks, The Definitive (1948) Edition) under E. Guey, Guey, or Guey, E, in any of the sections: Chapter I: Names of Early American Silversmiths. Chapter II: Marks of Early American Silversmiths. Chapter III: Locations of Silversmiths' Shops Index of Silversmiths Located on Maps. Have also looked in Thorn's [I]Handbook of American Silver and Pewter Marks[/I] as well as running searches on the Silver Salon forums and looking on such sites as Wev's great early American silver site: [url]http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silversmiths/makers/silversmiths/[/url] and of course the 925-1000 and the [url]http://www.silvercollection.it[/url] websites. Checked a couple of Canadian silver sites also. I missed this query back in November. We were "leaf peeking" up in the Ozarks early November when this query was probably first posted. --- Susan[/QUOTE]
