Author | Topic: Bird back spoon |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The above picture back spoons were by Samuel Alexander of Philadelphia are also bright cut on the front and a bird on the back of the spoon. He is listed as working in Philadelphia from 1797 to 1808 by Donald L Fennimore in his book Flights of Fancy. He appears to have had a fairly short career as Catherine Holland in her book Philadelphia Silversmiths notes very little work of his after 1808 when he moved to Richmond Virginia. I do wish all silversmiths had marks as easy to read as Mr. Alexander. IP: Logged |
