mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 03/22/2013 9:14 pm Moderators, please allow me to try this category. I tried this in another thread and got no help. This is an early creamer and I believe that it's a coin silver piece. There is one hallmark on the base depicting an Indian holding a bow and an arrow. This is also the pre civil war Massachusetts State Seal. It has the initialsERH engraved on the lower portion of the front. Any connection? I have been all over Google and this one has me flustered. The creamer is 6 1/4 inches tall from the top of the handle down to the base and weighs 208.9 grams or 6.7 ounces. Anybody have any information? Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure it's American in origin. Possibly British. Let me see what I can find :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

If this hallmark isn't in there, Professor Kane's academic email address is listed at Yale; perhaps she might respond to an unsolicited query? Report this Post to the Staff
