Description

This antique standing ornate butter knife is hallmarked “HOTEL” and “Shoemaker”.
The Joseph Shoemaker silversmith company dates from 1793-1829.
That would predate the 1906 law that required marking Sterling, etc. and we wonder if it is coin silver (90%).
The knife measures 7.5 inches by 1 inch and it weighs 1.3 ounces.
This is from a deceased relative’s collection of things and has been in storage for decades.
This is item number 6649
