I had these two spoons in my Mass bag, but I think that was an error. Does anyone recognize the marks. Maurice IP: Logged |

Belden attributes the Adams mark to Nathan Adams (1755-1825), working as a joiner in Danvers (1783) and Andover (1784) and in Wiscasset ME and Boston as a sillversmith and watchmaker. His timepieces were known for their accuracy and finish. I do not recognize the T.C mark IP: Logged |

I saw the mark in Belden, but Kane ignores N. Adams altogether and Flynt and Fales has a different Adams mark for N. Adams. So I was wondering about Belden's accuracy. Maurice IP: Logged |

I had a note from Winterthur about the Adams mark. They do not have a record of the version pictured in Flynt and Fales, but several examples of pieces with Belden's and consider it his mark. IP: Logged |

With regard to the second spoon, Charles S. Parsons in his "New Hampshire Silver" Pg 89 identifies the T.C [no period after the C, and in rectangle],as Timothy Chandler, Concord, 1762-1848, along with several other marks of Chandler. He apparently apprenticed" from 1770-1783 to Conn. card maker",and advertised in Concord Newspapers from 1791-1824. ------------------ IP: Logged |

One must always exercise care though when dealing with only initials, as there could be several makers using the same initials. It would always be helpful to find a similar documented piece with the same mark. IP: Logged |
