<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 10235559, member: 111"]Nice spoon! The firm became 'Tiffany & Co.' in 1853 after Young and Ellis retired, in 1868 Tiffany acquired the Moore firm intending to start producing their own flatware, Edward Moore became part of the company, and production of flatware started in 1869, so your window would be 1853-69. Unlikely there was a pattern name, yours appears to have a downturned terminal, typically identified as 'Old English', offered plain or with numerous engraved designs added - Tiffany introduced a similar classic old pattern 'Antique' in 1870 with an upturned terminal (renamed 'King William' in 1956).</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
