This was found buried only about 4" deep at an old home here in Chester County, PA dating to the 1770s.
The bowl has mostly broken away, but I still think its a cool piece. It's hallmarked MM which stands for Marcus Merriman who was a CT Silversmith and was active from 1787 to 1826. This appears to be his earliest hallmark.
Its probably coin silver (90%) and has the monogram "EH".
Is this worth anything beyond silver scrap value?
Thanks,
metaldetective
