Chalfant / From Grandmother / Sept. 23rd.. 1870.", also with an angular handle; and a coin silver mug by Peter L. Krider of Philadelphia, PA (1850-1888) with a rope border around rim and base edge and a double-scroll handle, sides featuring repousse and engraved designs of a vine with pumpkin-like gourds, one side engraved with "Presented to / John F.

Each with a maker's mark, shoe horn also with a partial "189[?]" date mark, "STERLING", and "S1887", Krider also having "STANDARD" mark and a retailer's mark for J.R.

Catalogue Note: According to The Journal of New York City, NY published on February 7, 1896, there was a conflict at the dinner between Sheriff Edward J. H. Tamsen and Peter F. Meyer, the foreman of the panel. The Sheriff wanted additional invitations to the dinner, but Meyer refused to issue them. During the dinner, three gentlemen without invitations occupied seats of others, and tension ensued throughout the evening between the Sheriff and Meyer without major conflict.
Later that year, the Sheriff was removed from office by New York Governor Levi Parsons Morton (1824-1920), resulting in Tamsen only serving two years out of a four-year term.
