inches; panel alone, 8 5/8 by
6 7/8 inches. Catalog No.

The silverware is de-
scribed as follows: Two
place settings of sterling
flatware. The forks and
spoons are marked ‘‘Shep-
ard & Boyd’ on the blades
and are engraved with a lion
rampant on the handle with
the legend, ‘‘Pro Patria.”
All pieces date approximate-
ly 1810-1835. Catalog No.
