[01-1449] I have six 8 3/8" Serving spoons marked Hood & Tobey on the back. Just above the name is three hallmarks. A lion in an oval, an eagle in a circle, and what looks like three letters in a diamond. The first letter is J and I can't make out exactly what the others are. ( might be & G ) I would appreciate any information anyone has as I can't find this maker any where. Thanks. IP: Logged |

Hood & Tobey, it seems, were a short-lived company based on Albany, New York, circa 1849. Bob Shulhof shows a Tuscan pattern place-setting at: Tuscan (Collectors Corner) Several other pieces in different designs are currently for sale on the internet. IP: Logged |

Although Hood & Tobey are listed in several sources as manufacturers, in this case they appear to have been the retailers. Your lion, eagle, J&G mark sounds as if the maker could be Samuel Johnson & Richard Godley, active in Albany c.1843 - 1850. IP: Logged |

Have you ever found a knife for the Hood & Tobey flatware? My pieces are the same as yours except there is a small beaded line around the outside edge. Thank you, Catherine Davidson IP: Logged |
