<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ExoMan, post: 2727917, member: 72588&quot;]Hey Bruce,</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the pics of those recent acquisitions. Joseph Aristides Baquie was a hardware merchant in New Orleans; this, now as yet unlisted. He went bankrupt, following the Civil War. The Crane c/s matches that seen on his daguerreotype frames. I&#039;m hoping to someday acquire one of those. I expect to pen an article about the Capron counterstamps. Brunk didn&#039;t list these dates for the Capron or Crane pieces. I also expect to do an article about Dealy and his relationship with another Philly merchant. I&#039;ll send you copies of my articles when done.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Dyer &amp; Eddy hallmark could be sharper, but it&#039;s a definite match to their known marks. This is an as yet unlisted piece. This pair of silversmiths were partners in Boston until 1805, so it&#039;s a very early mark. I&#039;d like to find a matching spoon, of course![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
