<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 1963486, member: 147&quot;]Hi silver lovers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have 3 pieces a friend wants me to sell and I need some help with them. I will tell my meager research info for each, please feel free to correct or add to my info. Any help will be very much appreciated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>#1 is a serving spoon, it measures 17-1/2&quot; long, the bowl is 3-1/4&quot; long x 2-1/4&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the marks I think it was made by A. Stowell from Boston (1865-1094). I have searched including Replacements silverware forms and can&#039;t figure out what kind of serving spoon it is, does anyone have any ideas? I also searched the maker&#039;s patterns and can not find the pattern, any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246636[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]246637[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]246638[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>#2 are tongs, very simple, no design on the them except for a monogram on the top. The only mark is &quot;ROB GRAY&quot; on the inside. I found the mark is from 1813-1860 from Portsmouth NH.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would there be a pattern name for something so plain?</p><p><br /></p><p>They measure 5-3/4&quot; long, the bowls of the tongs are 1&quot; x 7/8&quot;. What are these made for?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246639[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]246640[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]246641[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>#3 are also tongs, they measure 4-3/8&quot; long, the bowls are oval, 15/16&quot; x 5/8&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are British, I think the marks are Birmingham, Sterling David &amp; Lionel Spiers (1875-1900). I can try for better photos of the marks if asked, it is tough tough though because they&#039;re on the inside of the top curve. But ask and I will try.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are these tongs for, any ideas on a pattern name?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246643[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246647[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246648[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246644[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
