Author	Topic: maker's mark ID help
doc Posts: 728 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 01-30-2005 04:38 PM I need some help identifying some makers on coin spoons that I have. 1. A Sawyer, contained in a serrated rectangle. 2. Gray & Libby-looks like a retailer mark. Any help would be appreciated. IP: Logged

bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 06-23-2009 12:36 PM There is an Amos Sawyer in the 1850 U S Federal Census for Salem, Massachusetts who was born about 1775 in New Hampshire. The photocopy of the original census shows his occupation as a goldsmith. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 06-23-2009).] IP: Logged
