Description

The listing, Tiny Hallmarked L.I. Hosp Pitcher/Creamer has ended.

Vintage L.I. HOSP tiny creamer. Hallmarked TM Nickel silver on bottom.

Size is given in photos. Color looks like Copper yet it is stamped Nickel Silver on the base. Front of item is delicately stamped L.I. HOSP

I don't know anything about this item, except it's has been in the cabinet at my Mom's since the 50's. Tried to show the black tarnish on the side and all around the item. Not sure if this a pitcher or creamer?

I apologize in advance for the photos. My old digital camera died and the one I'm using now isn't as good.

The only other thing that I'm certain of is the L.I. Hospital was a Charity Hospital back then. (Mom's recollections??)

No cracks, holes, splits etc. Just as the photos show.

Notation:Bottom hallmark states 10% Nickel Silver.

Questions & Comments

Nancy... You are an Awesome Lady!!! it is my pleasure to make your acquaintance, I am Kelli and am now your fan. I have clicked on your auctions just for the sheer curiosity of what you will say about your pieces. This one especially is touching that the creamer was your mother's, but also so historically informative that I beg whom ever wins this auction to PLEASE copy this page and print out the comments about the Hospital's history. Lol that was a really long version of saying F&W. Please do fan back, so that we might be friends.

WOW! What a story. To sad it had to close. You know, in europe, they preserve
history like that, for future generation to see.
