Description

Looking to see if anyone knows what this collection of flatware might be worth, either sold seperately or all together. There is about 14 spoons, all in great/excellent condition, with "pure coin" markings on them, all with some initials and markings on the bottom. Wm rogers is one of them,  PITKIN is one, H. CHAPIN NY is another, and the list goes on. I'm pretty sure they would have been made in or near CT, in the early 1800's. Don't know if they might be worth anything. I'll try to get pictures of them, but for now, they look just like this
