Samuel Danforth American Pewter 7-13/16" Plate, Late 18th or Early 19th Century



A marked pewter plate by Samuel Danforth of Hartford Connecticut, c. 1795-1816, in the "semi-deep" 7-13/16" size. This size plate is a bit deeper than some of his other 8" range plates.


The plate is in fine condition with only a few metal imperfections on the reverse, some knife marks and light wear. Samuel's circular eagle touch mark (J-108) is double-struck on the reverse.


It is worth noting the 15 pellets (stars) in this eagle mark, suggesting the touch mark began its life between 1795-1796, very early in Samuel's career. The 15th state, Kentucky, gained statehood in 1792. The 16th state, Tennessee, gained statehood in 1796.
