From page 64, Early American Copper, Tin & Brass" by Henry J. Kauffman: "This fine example of the goose-neck style punched tin coffee pot, so popular during the nineteenth century, was made by a Pennsylvania tinsmith whose name is punched on one side and the name of the person for whom it was made on the other. The flower motif is typical."
