拍品專文

The engraved initials are probably those of Moses Michael Hays (1739-1805) and Rachel Myers (1738-1810), who were married on 13 August 1766.

David Barquist has suggested that this Halsted and Myers spoon may have been a marriage present for Myer Myers's youngest sister, Rachel, and Moses Michael Hays. The marriage date of 1766 coincides with the dissolution of the Halsted and Myers partnership and Barquist postulates that the spoon, as stock item, may have been given as a gift.
