  h: 7 3/16"
  Engraved H V D on tail piece and H V Driessen on bottom for Hendrick Van Driessen.

• He was a partner circa 1740 with Jacob Jacobse Lansing in Albany NY as LANSING & SCHUYLER. This is a suggested partnership, as yet unrecorded elsewhere. The mark is found on a c 1740 spoon with an Albany provenance, and given the association of Schuyler and the various Lansings, the attribution seems reasonable for now.
