Nothing as nice as those shared by https://www.antiquers.com/members/dragonflywink.111/, but here are some of my favorites: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Never liked Tab, but I always liked the commercial with the bikini-clad woman strolling on the beach.
This site needs a "love" button, since "like" doesn't cover some things! Stunning spoons, and now I'm inspired to get some of my nicer ones out to...
Sorry about that. I didn't realize at first that the tablespoons had a different mark than the teaspoons.
Your spoons are triple plate, '12oz' indicating 12 troy ounces used for plating per gross on the tablespoons, and '6oz' indicating 6 troy ounces...

I know Clemens Oskamp did sterling, coin, and plated flatware. How well were they marked? I'm pretty sure these are plated, but I wanted to check...

I've spent a good while looking for this mark, and just haven't had any luck. An "R" in a shield, with a crown above. This is found on a small...
I spent the weekend recently portraying the 15th Mass. Artillery at the 160th Siege of Fort Blakeley, in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The battery was in...
A souvenir of Lexington, depicting a Minute Man. I thought it appropriate for the date. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have an army Medical Corps coffee cup, too. It's my favorite, because straight from the cupboard, I can pour hot coffee into it and drink it...
I've always called these a "traveling desk", but now I'd like to know if they were meant to be used while traveling, or were they intended to be...
Separate names with a comma.
