Acquire a true artifact of early American craftsmanship with these 19th-century coin silver teaspoons pounded by Jacob Fogel. Styled in the highly collectible Fiddle pattern—distinguished by its clean, unadorned shoulders and broad violin-shaped handle—these spoons are a beautiful testament to mid-1800s silversmithing techniques.
Because they are genuine coin silver, each piece was meticulously hand-hammered and forged out of historical silver currency rather than standardized modern sheet metal. The reverse handles feature clear period maker marks/hallmarks alongside authentic hand-engraved cursive script monograms on the front face, highlighting their unique estate heritage. They are ideal as a gift for history enthusiasts, statement serving pieces, or display items within a historic Americana curation.

Jacob Fogel was a silversmith working in Georgia between 1825 and 1841. The item features various monograms and bears his maker’s trademark, which includes an eagle and star alongside his name. This trademark indicates the use of 90% coin silver in the piece. The item dates to the Pre-Civil War era, most likely from the 1820s to the 1830s.
