My sister Babs and her husband, David Milton, gave us this coffee pot as a wedding present. It was the first piece of good antique silver we owned and we have used it ever since. It remains one of our favorite pieces. She purchased it from James Robinson, a store from which we have bought many pieces of silver and porcelain in the years since we were married. - David Rockefeller. (D. Fennimore et al., p. 401).
