1850-1870 Medallion Coin Silver Ladle after Peter L Krider of Philadelphia
$800.00
A fabulous and scarce 1860-1870 solid coin silver Soup Ladle. The pattern has not yet been definitively identified but most closely resembles Peter L Krider of Philadelphia [Reference: Soeffing]. The ladle has an elegant scallop form bowl, and a barley twist stem. The stem swoops into the handle that is hand chased and enclosing the heavily cast right-facing portrait. Above the medallion is a distinctive silver bead and a slightly upturned terminal. While completely unmarked for the maker, the ladle is engraved with the owner's name "A. E. Mixsell".
Annie E Mixsell was from the prominent family of Mixsells in Easton, PA. The Historical Society in Easton owns a house that may be associated with this family called the Jacob Mixsell House. Research continues, but Annie E Mixsel is believed to have been born in 1837 in Easton, daughter of Edmund Burke Mixsell, and the granddaughter of Phillip Mixsell and the great granddaughter of Major Phillip Mixsell. She married J. Henry Goodell in 1856 and married Samuel Gillespie in 1863.
Dimensions: 10.75"
Weight: 110 grams
