WE HAVE SEVERAL IMPORTANT SILVER PIECES FROM THE SAME PROMINENT RHODE ISLAND ESTATE RUNNING THIS WEEK. ALL ARE ABSOLUTE sales WITH STARTING AT $9.99. MAKE SURE TO VIEW (AND offer ON) THEM ALL.
If you\'re a collector of important antique sterling silver then we have a listing for you! This sterling silver serving tray or salver is from the estate of a family that descends from the famous Brown family (of Brown University) that settled in Providence, Rhode Island, in the early 17th century. It measures 1.5\" in height, 12.75\" in diameter, and weighs a hefty 935.5 grams (2 lbs, 1 oz.). The tray has a scroll and shell pattern rim and stands on three feet. The top of the tray is engraved with a family crest showing crosses and what appear to be two groups of three feet, likely eagle, hawk, or griffin. We haven\'t been able to identify the crest, but perhaps an expert in heraldry will know?The marks on the underside of the tray are the 1769 London date letter, the lion for sterling silver, the London city mark, and a \"EC\" maker\'s mark for Elizabeth Cooke. She was the wife of Samuel Cooke, a silversmith on Foster Lane. Upon his death in 1764 shetook over his business and worked until about 1773. A woman working as a silversmith in 18th-century England was incredibly rare! Overall the tray is in very good antique condition, with a single, no doubt repairable 1.25\" split in the metal along the rim (see photo). We have not attempted to polish or clean this tray since receiving it, in case the buyer prefers this as-found patina. But if you choose to do so, it will polish to a brilliant shine! We are starting this sale at $9.99 with . Good luck offerding!

Please Take a Moment to Read About Our Shipping Policies:
U.S.Buyers: Please understand thatour handling cost includesinsurance. Thus shipping on highervalue items may seem high. Rest assured that weNEVER mark up shipping costs of any kind- we just pass along whatever we have to pay on your behalf. Allbasic shipping materials are provided at our expense as a courtesy.On rare occasion, if your item is particularly fragile or valuablewe mayneed to pass along the actual cost of special packing materials we purchase just for your item. We typically offer you at least 2 shipping options: Priority Mail for fastest, safest shipment and Parcel Post for slower cheaper service. Make sure to choose the option that suits you best. In some cases there is little to no difference in cost between the two services in which case it only makes sense to use Priority Mail. Certain large or unusually shaped items require special packaging by a professional. In this case we must pass along the packing fees to you, but we still never mark up these services. In the unlikely event that we ever accidentally overcharge youwe will automatically refund your overpayment via PayPal provided theovercharge exceeds$3.00.
International Buyers: are welcome. Please understand that we use \'s Global Shipping Program for all shipments outside of the U.S. Therefore we are unable to make any changes to shipping arrangements once the sale ends.Since sets the cost for shipping, you\'ll need to deal with them directly with any inquiries about shipping. As sellers, we don\'t evenknow what they\'re charging you. The shipping fee you pay us only covers the cost of shipment to\'s shipping center in Kentucky, USA. We do not fill out customs documents, select carriers, determine shipping times, etc.
Your items are important to us, so we are very careful in our packing and use the best materials and take our time to make certain that it arrives in the condition in which it left here! We normally ship smaller items to \'s shipping center using Priority Mail. Packages larger than 12\" in any dimension usually ship via Parcel Post to save you money. All of our shipping cost include full ensurance within the U.S. In many cases, only partial ensurance is available to countries outside of the U.S. We will always purchase the maximum available on your behalf. We\'ll purchase \'s ShipCover for you only when necessary.It is important that you understand that ShipCover ironically doesn\'t cover the cost of shipping, so in the unlikely event of loss or damage, you, the buyer will forfeit that cost.
