Frederick Marquand, Savannah Georgia, circa 1825.
A set of eight coin
silver knives with maker's marks as shown in Cutten's "Silversmiths of
Georgia". Solid silver blades are about perfect, some minor bumps in the
hollow handles. One knife has an almost indistinguishable repair where
handle joins blade. Length 7 1/2 inches. Early coin silver knives are
extremely scarce, especially from the south, where they were used only by
the most wealthy families.
