Three Month Sterling Drought is Over. Sterling Rosary set in Fancy Gilt Brass Box.

[RatherBeDigging]

I've been re-covering some sites I've done but with oversized coil. It has really paid off in my original honey hole. The bent up spoon (marked Holmes & Edwards), clock plate, 1910 wheaty,watch dial, modern psalm 23 token, piece of costume jewelry and rosery set are from this site. Up to 6 silver items from there now. Rosery set was in its brass box with lid semi ajar and upside down the hole. Its box is a bit bent up and was clearly hit by something in the field. It was A complete garbage signal too but clear. It looks like Jesus came
un-soldered from cross though... was dark out so I missed it possibly in plug. Going to recruit my friend Colin to help try and find Jesus. 😆 big spoon is from a creek hunt. Rogers brothers mark. Pattern was made 1908 to like 1918.

Nice little haul. Just some additional info for you.

Holmes & Edwards didn’t make sterling flatware. They produced low-cost plated flatware. However, when William Warner went to work for them, the quality of their flatware benefited from his two patents (granted 1884 and 1886) for a process known as “sterling silver inlay”. The base metal cutlery was inlaid with pieces of sheet sterling silver before then being silver plated, but only at the positions known to be subject to the highest degree of wear… as shown below:



The large spoon is in “Vintage” pattern, which was designed by Samuel Stohr in 1904 and used by both Meriden Britannia and Rogers Brothers for a number of years, but only as a silver plate pattern.

Thank you for the information. By far find mostly silver plated spoons like the ones shown. Only have one sterling silver one, but it's a good one. If I'll ever find the Jesus from the cross ill repost. Going to be tough because it would be pretty small.
