Presented is a married set of 7 sterling silver place or serving spoons made between 1792-1823. 4 of the spoons are English sterling silver, 3 were made by William Thomson circa 1820s and 1 was made by Solomon Hougham in 1792. Three of the spoons were made by William Thomson of New York City during the early 1800s, probably the 1820s or 1830s.
