Description:
Silver spoon with a pointed oval bowl, pointed shoulders, and a downturned fiddle-end handle, which is marked "S.C. & Co" in a rectangle for Simon Chaudron & Co, and engraved with the initials "EJ" in foliate script on the front of the handle. Jean Simon Chaudron (1758-1846) moved to from Haiti to Philadelphia in 1793, where he worked as a jeweler, watchmaker, and silversmith. He was in partnership with Charles Fredric Bilon from 1795 to around 1797; by himself for many years; and then in partnership with Anthony Rasch (c.1778-c.1859) as Chaudron & Rasch from 1809-1812. Sometime between 1817-1819, Chaudron moved first to Demopolis, Alabama, and then to Mobile, Alabama, in 1825.
