RE: What's your favorite non-glass find? - 6/8/2011 10:04:07 PM    epackage Posts: 9911 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Jersey Status: offline This is a small coffee pot from Paterson General Hospital that I would date to 1920 the latest, it is marked on the bottom Reed & Barton 932, 8oz. Coffee, Paterson General Hospital. The pic of the inside of the lid is as it was found many years ago and I think it's solid silver, just needs to be polished, it shows no signs of being plated. There are either ebony or onyx inserts in the handle for heat and I assume it was meant for individual rooms in the hospital, I also have a matching creamer. The hospital stopped being Paterson General in 1915-20, now I need to bring it to a jeweler I guess to find out if it's silver...Jim _____________________________ I WANT PATERSON NJ BOTTLES !!
