Set of four antique American coin-silver teaspoons bearing the incuse “Wm. Kendrick” mark of prominent Louisville, Kentucky silversmith and retailer William Kendrick.
These mid-19th-century spoons feature a classic plain Fiddle-style handle and appear to predate the later Wm. Kendrick & Son partnership formed in 1873.
Details:
• Quantity: Four teaspoons
• Length: Approximately 5 1/4 inches each
• Combined weight: Approximately 1.9 standard ounces / 53.9 grams
• Composition: Traditionally attributed as American coin silver
• Maker/retailer mark: Wm. Kendrick
• Origin: Louisville, Kentucky
• No monograms
Condition:
Authentic antique condition with surface scratches, patina, edge wear, scattered small marks, and several small shallow dents or dings within the bowls. The spoons also display natural hand-formed waviness or rippling. Some distortion visible in the photographs is caused by reflections across the uneven hand-worked silver surfaces; however, small genuine dents are present and disclosed. Please review all photographs closely.
Coin-silver attribution is based upon the maker marks, period, and comparable documented Kendrick flatware; the pieces have not been professionally assay tested.
