Coin silver spoons, random items, unusual figure

[silverdollarbill]

Found these at a store I had never been too. It's my new favorite store!



The three coin silver spoons where $2 each and are:
1) Osman Reed - Philadelphia - 1831-1850
American Silver Marks R - Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks



2) Bailey & Kitchen - Philadelphia - 1832 - 1848
American Silver Marks B - Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks



3) R.H. Bailey - Vermont - Unknown date

Paging Captain Flintlock....curious to hear what you think of these spoons. Also thank you, because of your posts, I immediately knew these were coin silver and old US.

I also bought this figurine. It's not ivory and I do not think it is bone. I am assuming it is molded. The detail is great. Anyone know what this is?




Also picked up this Mervelyne C. Zuni sterling watch band. Watch and band was $10.



Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Awesome spoons! Detail on that guy really is great. Is he heavy or light?

Great finds. The figure is probably celluloid or possibly French ivory (the same thing) though I don't see any lines in it other than mold lines.

Great coin silver spoons. You don’t see too many Vermont makers so very nice. Awesome Navajo watch bracelet. Should bring a pretty penny. I bet the timex will clean up nice.

@Randazzo...they are pretty heavy. I think digg is right and they are celluloid.

@Jim...from reading your posts on here, I keep wanting to start playing with watches.

I think the spoons are my favorite. I've bought a lot silverware, but these are my first coin silver spoons. I was surprised by how light and flimsy they are.

Oh my!!! That is a great score! I’m so glad my past posts helped you with this purchase. As you know, I love ( and collect) coin silver. The RH Bailey is Roswell H Bailey. His business was in Woodstock, Vt and was established in 1839. He was a very prominent silversmith in Vermont. I have a great silver database site that is my go to for most early American makers but it’s been down for a while for some sort of maintenance. These are very solid purchases, especially at 2 bucks each and a great addition to any collection. I also found one with the same maker listed on eBay for $14.99. Sorry that I haven’t been on the forum much recently. Been busy and the yard sale season is over here in Ct. 🙁 Again, well done!
