Tankard ca. 1763 Thomas Hamersley This tankard is marked by silversmith Thomas Hamersley, whose surviving work often emulates contemporary English design. The exceptionally fine engraving was probably executed by an immigrant craftsman trained abroad, as was the case with many engravers in mid-eighteenth-century New York. The present tankard belonged to New York merchant Samuel Broome (1734-1810), who married Phebe Platt (1739-1814) on June 27, 1763. Because the cover of the tankard features the couples intertwined initials—SPB for Samuel and Phebe Broome—the tankard could well have been commissioned to celebrate their marriage. Phebe was the sister of one of Samuels business partners, Jeremiah Platt, who, along with Samuel and Samuels younger brother John, operated a lucrative import-export business.. Tankard 8202
