[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4259528, member: 8363"]Love the link. There is so much information out there, it's hard to determine what are the best sources. I didn't realize that Marquand was a retailer, not a maker.

I have one other coin silver spoon, so this is a real education for me. Not that I am likely to find more than an occasional stray spoon that may be interesting.
