$385.00
Offered here is a lovely heavy gauge French 800 silver tablespoon set with classic lines and celtic point terminal. Marked with bigorne mark on the front of stem, provincial mark for Strasbourg (65), gross garantie for 800 silver, and marked with the R under etoile maker mark as well as maker name ROEDERER. Recently recovered from upstate NY. Condition is very good.
These were found in Rochester and are hand engraved "Kuichling" (one was not engraved but is also by Roederer. The spoons likely belonged to Dr. Louis Kuichling who took part in the revolution of 1848, "but on its early collapse was imprisoned at Strasbourg and sentenced to death. By a bold strategy his escape from prison was effected, whereupon he made his way to the United States" and settled in Rochester in 1850. Dr. Kuichling, who had been imprisoned as a revolutionist, escaped to this country. His escape was carried out in the following manner: the wife and a woman friend went to the prison to pay him a visit. The friend exchanged clothing with him and remained behind in the prison" while Dr. Kuichling walked out in womens' clothing, in the company of his wife. He fled first to Switzerland and then to the United States, where he rejoined his wife and children.
