Repoussé • Manufacturer • Holloware • Flatware • Miscellaneous • Coin Silver • Foreign • Indexes

This page will feature mostly Coin Silver Place Flatware (and possibly some holloware) made prior to 1870 that we have been unable to attribute to a  particular manufacturer despite possessing a mark or have succeeded in making an attribution that has not been previously published (if it has we apologize). Some of the pieces will be priced but some are not (in someone's collection or not presently for sale). Links to the marks and possibly interesting decorative details have been provided. If you feel that you hold the key to identifying any of these marks feel free to e-mail us; if you disagree with any of our attributions please let us know that also..

A piece may be marked On Hold, Layaway, Sold, or NFS (Not for Sale) 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. Other Antique American Coin Silver available on different pages include:
