Boston Coin Silver Soup Ladle, Ca. 1800

American Ca. 1800

A Boston Coin Silver Federal period soup ladle signed “PARKMAN”. There seems to be conflicting references to this particular mark as to which Parkman, Thomas, Charles or John. John is the earliest known and is probably not his product and Charles and Thomas are known to have also used their first initial.
