1810s COIN SILVER Tablespoon/COIT & MANSFIELD Norwich CT--Smith MONTVILLE CT

Description

Coin silver tablespoon (just under 9” long, bowl just over 1 ¾” at its widest) with engraved initials, by Coit & Mansfield of Norwich, Connecticut, circa 1810s. The spoon has C & M stamped underneath. Thomas Chester Coit and Elisha Hyde Mansfield worked briefly together in Norwich, Connecticut, in the 1810s. They used a couple of different marks with this one likely being the earlier one. The initials on the handle look to be M.S. The spoon came from an estate in Montville, Connecticut, with items tied to the family of Lyman Smith and Henry Austin Smith. The spoon is in good or better condition with only very minor wear but with no breaks or substantial dents. Very nice American coin silver tablespoon! Free first class shipping!
