<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 35969, member: 111"]If I recall correctly, there were two firms using the Hall & Elton mark, one in Geneva, NY in the 1840s, producing basic fiddle pattern silverplate and Britannia-metal spoons, with the occasional coin spoon under their mark (I've never run across one) - and one in Wallingford, CT, associated with Hall, Elton & Co., in business from 1837 to 1890, don't believe they produced any solid silver. As Bakersgma already said, this is the Wallingford firm's circa 1867 'Medallion' pattern, and the wear-through to base metal is very apparent in the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
