Just found at the thrift shop a J Burritt & Sons coin silver 6" spoon. It also has another mark "D (Eagle) (Profile Head)" probably another silversmith made the spoon when Burritt was just a retailer rather than a maker of silver? Any thoughts on who the maker is? Lovely "L Howe" script monogram. IP: Logged |

This is attributed to Hall, Hewson & Brower, as shown in John McGrew's Manufacturers' Marks on American Coin Silver book. IP: Logged |

According to wev's fabulous site, the Burritt mark is for Joseph Burritt and Joseph Curtis Burritt of Ithaca NY, in business together from 1838-1862. IP: Logged |

Sorry-missed your post in the ephemera section with the photo of the Burritts until after I posted. Guess you figured it out! IP: Logged |

I have seen references that state use of the letter D indicated that silver dollars were used for the silver source. Whether or not the Hall company used this designation is not known by me. I have also heard that John McGrew was about to issued a revised edition of his book. Has anyone else heard this? IP: Logged |

I called to find out if there would indeed be a revised edition of John McGrew's book and was told that there are no plans for a revised edition, and that the plan is to share any new found information on marks in a leading silver publication when they are able to get it organized. He is working on a Basket Of Flowers book. There are slightly over 100 copies of the original book still remaining as of 2/3/2020. FYI. IP: Logged |

Thanks cbc58. My copy, that I received in 2005, was getting a little worn so I ordered another copy. Dr. McGrew's phone number is 717/632-6244 if anyone else wants to contact him. IP: Logged |
