Antique American Coin Silver Servers
Repoussι Manufacturer Holloware Flatware Miscellaneous Coin Silver Foreign Indexes
This page will concentrate on Civil War era and earlier silver servers with the exception of the Coin Silver Ladles and Coin Silver Sugar Tongs which will be listed separately. Pre-1850 Servers usually are simple in form and limited in type; in general it was not until the third quarter of the 19th century that the number of serving types began to proliferate so unusual forms usually date from this period.
Some of these (including pattern examples) will be also listed with the larger listings of later and more varied servers which will be broken down into six different sections and found on the following pages: Serving Spoons (those with a bowl), Serving Forks (those with tines), Serving Knives (those with blades), Serving Sets (combinations of servers or serving and place pieces), Ladles (bowls again!), and Miscellaneous Servers (everything else!). Identifying the original use of a server can sometimes be difficult, especially if one does not have the manufacturer's catalog. As a consequence we may have just what you need listed under a completely different category than what you might expect. Thus it is hoped that having a separate page for these six broad groupings of servers will enable you to search through somewhat similar categories that may more quickly yield what you are looking for. These sections will include post-Civil War American Servers and foreign examples of any age.
Some pieces on this page will have links to their marks and/or decoration. A piece may be marked On Hold, Layaway, or Sold to designate its lack of availability. Please use the inventory number during correspondence to help us identify a particular item. To examine our latest additions please check out our New Listings.
