Author	Topic: McConnell stuffing spoon
Linda Snyder Posts: 17 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-23-2002 09:17 PM I inherited 4 coin silver stuffing spoons. I understand there were two McConnell's, one from Philadelphia and one from Delaware. These just say the name - no embellishments. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two maker's marks? They are lovely spoons I am lucky to have. Thanks, Linda IP: Logged

Half of the items in their collection ( an eight piece tea set of Delaware provenance dated 1806) are marked with this mark; the rest are marked by Peter Krider of Philadelphia. Is this the mark on your spoons? IP: Logged
Linda Snyder Posts: 17 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-23-2002 10:05 PM Yes, this is the mark! I suspect they are from Wilmington because she lived her whole life in Wilmington. On the other hand, she also collected Caldwell silver, so it could be Philadelphia. Thanks, Linda P.S. I have another challenge for you. See next question. IP: Logged
