DESCRIPTION
Marked twice with American eagle mark. Eagle with shield, head circled by stars, holding arrows in its talons. Initials “S. D.” on either side of the emblem, indicating pewterer Samuel Danforth (operating 1795-1816) of Hartford, Connecticut. Note that by viewing the two touch marks, you can see an arrangement of 15 stars ringing the eagle's head, suggesting that these plates were done early in Danforth's career, ca. 1795-1796. Kentucky, the 15th state, was admitted to the union in 1792. The sixteenth, Tennessee, was admitted in 1796.
