Jeremiah Dummer (1645-1718) was America’s first native-born silversmith. In 1659 he began his apprenticeship with émigré John Hull, first mintmaster of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, creator of the famed “Pine-Tree” shilling. Dummer himself trained John Coney, with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship. Another tankard by Dummer with similar gadrooning to the cover, corkscrew thumbpiece, and ribbed handle with cherub terminal and ear, engraved with the arms of the Saltonstall, Cotton, and Brooks families, is illustrated in H. Clarke and H. Foote, Jeremiah Dummer: Colonial Craftsman & Merchant 1645-1718, New York, 1970, pp. 146 and 157, plate XVII.
