    picked up 15 spoons from a yard sale yesterday, person had a large box of spoons and assorted cutlery and after going through it picked these out. They looked and felt and smelt like old silver. Asked her how much and she advised 5 bucks so I paid up and left a happy camper.
    The names on the spoons are as follows,
    Willard & Hawley, L.L. Moore N.Y. , ? Kirkland , Geo A Hoyt , ?owle & Kirkland , G. Waterman , J.W.H Canoll , J.T. Rice premium , ?vd & Millford . There are other markings on some of the spoons mostly an anchor, star, head and some with letter D.
    Here are before pictures and will post after cleaning pics later.

    Nice buy! Early-mid 19th century American coin silver - no time at the moment, but if not provided by someone else, can provide info on most later (on your 2nd post, the pics don't show up for me)...

    The ones with no name but a star, head and D are most likely from New York.

    Forgot to add total weight of 7.29 oz not that I would ever consider worrying about weight.

    Sterlingflatwarefashions has a fair amount of info on coin silver marks and the makers who used them.

    Here is their post about Willard and Hawley

    Willard & Hawley


    Syracuse, NY 1844-1869
    A partnership of William Wallace Willard and John Dean Hawley. Joseph Seymour was a member of the firm 1846-1848, and the
    partnership went by the name Willard, Hawley & Co. during that time. The star/D/star mark has been attributed to silver made by Willard & Hawley and retailed by others.
