Hi again, I could use an identification of this maker. I thought I had looked him up "once upon a time", but checking my reference books I don't find a listing for him. These are dessert spoons. Thanks much. ...Marc IP: Logged |

I think T man nc deserves an award for recognizing the obvious, I spent 20 minutes the other night looking through references and missed Belden. IP: Logged |

I have some mild doubts over the attribution in Belden. The spoon they have and another that I have seen are both very much earlier than the 1840-1850 directory listing of Amos Sawyer, jeweler. It may be that this indicates the twilight of his career, but it also may be that it isn't him at all. IP: Logged |

From the Vital records of Beverly, Massachusetts, Amos Sawyer married Mary Appleton 7 June 1798. Their intentions to marry were also recorded. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 09-30-2008).] IP: Logged |

The White genealogy states that Amos and his son Leverett S were both goldsmiths in Salem. Amos who was born in 1775 in New Hampshire is listed in the 1850 U S Federal Census for Salem, Massachusetts as a goldsmith. IP: Logged |

The watch is English, c 1820; there is no way of knowing when it may have passed through Sawyer's shop, but obviously before 1839. IP: Logged |

Thank you! Poor man; he missed his son George Carleton's graduation from Havard in 1855. IP: Logged |
