Description
Southern Coin Silver Beaker with punch mark for Thomas Emond, period bright cut engraved ""H"" monogram, barrel form with slightly out-turned lip.
3 3/8 in.
3.45 troy oz.
Thomas Emond was born in Edinburgh but had emigrated to the United States, settling in Petersburg, VA by 1802. In 1806 he moved to Raleigh, NC, setting up shop on Fayetteville Street. He remained in Raleigh, selling and repairing clocks, jewelry, silver, and more, until leaving NC for Tuscaloosa, AL in 1826. It is interesting to note that Emond was the largest buyer at the estate auction of his friend and fellow silversmith, Jehu Scott. (see Catherine B. Hollan`s VIRGINIA SILVERSMITHS, JEWELERS, CLOCK AND WATCHMAKERS, 1607-1860.) The North Carolina Museum of History has two silver desert spoons by Thomas Emond with the ""H"" monogram that descended in the family of William Hinton (1768-1836). William Hinton and his wife, Candace Rosser, built Beaver Dam Plantation in what is now Johnston County, originally Wake County, circa 1810. While it cannot be known for sure without further research, it is possible that this beaker was once owned by the Hinton family. Slight, very minor, dings.
