agphile Posts: 798 Registered: Apr 2008	posted 06-21-2016 06:39 AM Thanks for this. Very respectable looking spoons - they put some of my more careless purchases to shame. Nice to see not just a range of places of origin but also a variety of detail: rattail to double drop. IP: Logged
asheland Posts: 935 Registered: Nov 2003	posted 06-21-2016 10:03 AM Thank you for the compliment! I initially wanted an example from each of the main assay offices, but happened to get a good date range and variation of the regional styles. I love Hanoverian spoons!

asheland Posts: 935 Registered: Nov 2003	posted 06-21-2016 04:32 PM I used the rattail once! And yes, I plan to use them all at some point. The Philadelphia example is Colonial American! IP: Logged
