Early American coin silver beaker by Newburyport, Mass. silversmith William Moulton IV. Circa 1800. This cup bears an original presentation inscription, engraved in script, with the name Heber Little. Condition is very good with no repairs. There are a couple of minor dents, the most noticeable being situated near the base of the vessel & aligning with the right hand end and below the name 'Little.' There is also an incipient split at the top rim (see photo detail). This line is visible on the outside, though it does not go all the way through to the inside, and it extends down from the rim about an eighth of an inch. Maker's mark stamped on base, W. MOULTON in a rectangle. The Moulton family is one of New England's most noted silversmithing families, and its tradition continues today under the Towle name.
