Cool new Brasher spoon

Recently committed to this piece from JK.

Same punch as used on his doubloons! IMO this is a great value.

Super cool piece, bet you got it for a fraction of a fraction of a price of a doubloon!

Very nice! Brasher spoons are great, and the double EB stamps are my favorite!

True, but does kinda have the colonial money aspect to it.

Reminds me of paul Revere and old colonial coinage and currency

Nice old silver... I have never been lucky enough to find pieces such as these. Cheers, RickO

Most of us haven’t. They are extremely rare.

Brasher was a regulator, as was William Hollingshead.
Both counterstamped coins, passing them for commerce.
In 2014 I was lucky to find a spoon by Hollingshead.

Here’s a link explaining some of it:

My Hollingshead spoon and mark, the same very punch used to regulate coins I estimate my spoon was made c.1760-70 in Philadelphia. A very cool example of colonial American silver.

And a link showing Hollingshead’s mark on a coin:

I found all this out after buying my spoon. A very cool little bonus to simply picking up an early spoon.
