MARKS OF AMERICAN SILVERSMITHS 1650-1900 by Robert Alan Green, privately published, FL, 1977.

This comprehensive pictorial guide covers collecting silver, the values of American silver, American silver trademarks and hallmarks, and more. 'Presented are working locations and working periods as well as accurate dates of births and deaths. Many errors contained in previous works have been corrected for the first time, and the actual photographic marks of hundreds of silversmiths, may be compared with the time-honored drawings of such authorities as Currier and Ensko. IN the text there are significant guidelines for creating a collection of one’s own, from reading the important hallmarks to determining the value of almost any category of coin or sterling silver. Finally a List of Important Books on American silver can lead to the acquisition of a valuable research library. This book is designed by collectors, dealers, researchers, and other serious students.'
