Hi all,

I picked up these two cream pitchers, from a dealer, at the Don Scott monthly show in Atlanta, who knew I collected figural silver.

They are cast, 2.25" tall, sterling silver, and retailed by the "New Orleans Silversmiths" shop.

One of these is Punch", for sure, and I believe the other is "Lafayette" , but as the bust has a mustache, I ask for help, in identification.

Also, would anyone know if these cream pitchers were part of a larger set?

Thanks..
Marc

There is a New Orleans Silversmiths Inc. is on Chartres Street in New Orleans. They have been there a long time and may be the same company that retailed these items. Perhaps an e-mail to them might turn something up.

The mustache man looks like a theatrical figure, but I do not know who it is.

Hi AHWT,

I did read the entry (founded in NO in 1938) in Rainwater, "Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufactures", just after I purchased these goodies, but thanks for the suggestion about getting in touch with them.

Carnival related, do you think ?
