Ulysses Dietz Moderator Posts: 1265 Registered: May 99	posted 02-09-2011 11:46 AM Here's a New Jersey silversmith no one has ever heard of. Euseba (Mrs. Warren) Kamensky, Medford, NJ. She apparently was trained as a silversmith after WWII and took it up really as a hobby in the 1950s--when she made these three small, beautifully wrought pieces. No marks at all, but the bowl is marked STERLING. She will never be famous, but in light of Margret Craver's influence, I like to think that Mrs. Kamensky saw our show in 1948 and was inspired by another woman silversmith. Call me a romantic...
