<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 70975, member: 147&quot;]Hi, I am hoping you can help me with these 2 silver pieces a friend asked me to sell for her.</p><p><br /></p><p>First is a knife, is it a butter knife? It measures 7&quot; long. It is marked on the back with a small symbol &quot;Sterling J. H. Hutchinson.&quot;. I have searched and the only reference I found was on ebay. They say J. H. Hutchinson was from Portsmouth NH and worked around 1900. This seems possible because the decoration on the knife looks like from around that time. Is this information correct? Would it be correct to say the decoration is chased?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]18368[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]18369[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]18370[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18371[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]18372[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Next is a serving spoon, it measures 7-7/8&quot; long, the bowl is 2-1/4&quot; wide. What kind of spoon is this? My friend thought a berry spoon but she isn&#039;t sure because she thought they usually have holes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back is marked 925 over 1000, a tiny symbol that kind of looks like a lion standing inside a J or T and &quot;Sterling&quot;. I think it&#039;s by Towle, the Rustic pattern, is that correct? Silver is not my thing so I would appreciate confirmation before I tag this spoon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help I can get on these pieces would be extremely appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]18378[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]18379[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]18380[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]18381[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
