<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 1420315, member: 5515"]Here's the photos. PS the last 2 photos show the terrible testing method used on these relics. Sad to say the least...worse is whomever was doing the testing clearly doesn't know how to interpret acid on silver since they're all clearly coin silver. A funny aside: having the initials EPS is pretty confusing when they're placed on coin silver (there's two spoons with EPS initials on N Harding & Co coin spoons)...I'm quite intrigued by the Lemuel Shaw spoon, I would find it difficult to think that this wasn't his, especially considering these items were mailed from the area he resided in. Quite a unique story of his life either way, and pretty cool that his daughter married Herman Melville (Moby Dick author). Here's the photos (the large meat fork has a small sterling cap, not worth the photograph):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]223589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223592[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223596[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
