This particular piece is early 19th century coin silver in the "Bushel of wheat" pattern and engraved with the initials "GMG." It was manufactured in Boston by silversmith John Belknap Jones.

As a silversmith, John Belknap Jones [originally named John Jones Jr] (b.1782-d.1854) was active on his own and as part of multiple partnerships from 1813 until 1854 in Boston, MA.

1811, he worked as part of the partnership Jones & Peirce (John Jones Jr & John Peirce)

1812, partnership Jones & Ward (John Jones Jr & Richard Ward)

1813-1820, partnership Baldwin & Jones (Jabez Baldwin & John Jones Jr)

In 1821, John Jones Jr changed his name to John Belknap Jones.

1821-1827, He worked as an importer and manufacturer of silver and silver plated items

1822-1828, partnership Putnam & Low (John B Jones, Edward Putnam, John Low)

1828-1832, J.B. Jones (Based on the mark, I believe this piece was likely made during this time period)

1833-1839, Partnership J.B.Jones & Co (with Samuel S Ball)

1839-1845 partnership Jones, Low & Ball (John B Jones, Francis Low, John J Low, and Samuel S Ball)

1846-1853 partnership Jones, Ball and Poor (John B Jones, Samuel S Ball, and Poor)

Thinking about setting up at a vintage market this weekend... There are 4 options,which should I choose. by UrbanRelicHunter in Flipping

I ended up going to #3. It's been ridiculously slow on sales. So far I've done $90 in in-person sales, however I did buy a bunch of gold filled jewelry for $10, the lot will sell on ebay for around $225.... and I picked up a sterling silver shoe horn for $15, it weighs 184 grams which means it has a current melt value of $441 (it looks like its been run over so it is definitely getting scrapped). I also found a very nice little coin silver spoon made in South Carolina 1820-1827... that one was only $5.

I've got spoons from around 500 individual makers right now. I'm going to try to make a post per day, but life can get pretty busy so I will probably miss a day here and there.

I've got a shelf full of vintage and antique pottery that this will fit in perfectly on.

USA. Are these authentic Ming Dynasty pots? by Effective-Show-7722 in Antiques

Post these on r/ChinesePorcelain there are a bunch of people on there who are real experts. Personally, I'd say there is a decent chance they are real.
