The Kimball family silver settings handed down though 5 generations to my father and mother is shown above with selected engraved samples. My mother used these coin silver place settings on special occasions. Some pieces show the teeth marks of young family members. Early customs encouraged teething infants to suck on silver spoons or cups as a beneficial antiseptic health practice, since shown to be valid. The earliest pieces are engraved CB for Caroline Robinson (Burton), my ggg. grandmother; next MJB for Mary Jane Burton (Kimball), my gg.grandmother; next M. J. Kimbell (sic) for Mary Jane Kimball, after marriage; and finally, IMR for Ida Mae Kimball Robinson, my grandmother. The Family Kimball name during the Pownal, VT, years transitioned from Kimball to Kimbell and back to Kimball.
