BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

Stanley Bailey Ineson was a collector of early American silver spoons. He lived in Glen Cove, New York, with a vacation home in Manchester, Vermont. He worked on Wall Street at Spencer, Trask & Co. Born in Seymour, Connecticut, on December 5, 1882 (other sources say 1881), Ineson graduated from Yale University in 1907. He married Phoebe Pearsall in 1915, and they had at least one child, a daughter named Phoebe.

In 1930, Ineson began collecting early American silver spoons. He amassed some 1,700 items over the next 15 years. Ineson's collection was eventually purchased and presented to the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum by a third party in 1962. The Inesons also collected early American blown glass and pewter.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The Ineson papers were generated in the course of building his silver collection. The bulk of the papers consists of correspondence, including orders, inquiries, requests for appraisals, and more general correspondence. The rest of the collection consists of subject files, clippings, lists of silversmiths, rubbings of touchmarks, photographs of silver, and wax impressions of touchmarks from the backs of silver spoons.

Stanley Ineson advertised for old silver spoons in a number of periodicals. Many of the letters here are responses to his advertisements. They often describe silver spoons (and other silver pieces), offering them for sale. Other letters ask Ineson to appraise silver. Some letters record Ineson's interaction with other avid silver collectors including George B. Cutten, Robert Ensko, Ernest and Lavinia Currier, Charles H. Batchelder, and Irving W. Davis.

The subject files give specific documentation to Ineson's collecting by preserving lists of items in his collection, photographs of their touchmarks, and fragile wax impressions of touchmarks. Ineson's research in dating silver and identifying American silversmiths is also made available in these papers.

ORGANIZATION

The Ineson papers came to the Downs Collection in 1976. They were processed some time thereafter by the manuscript library staff. Some order was apparently imposed on the papers at that time, with about half of the correspondence being arranged alphabetically, while the other half was arranged chronologically. In 2008, all letters were arranged alphabetically.

The papers were re-processed in 1989. At this time some order was imposed on the subject files. The individual shelf numbers that had been necessary for retrieval under the Termatrex indexing system have been noted on the file folders so that the previous order can be restored if some reason is found to do so, so that the Termatrex system can still be used while it is available, and so that previously published citations to the papers using these shelf numbers can still be interpreted.

Filed with the finding aid are four name indexes to the papers, none of which is labeled as to exactly what is being indexed. However, one seems to be primarily an index to the correspondents in the alphabetical files in Boxes 1-5; the second seems to be an index to names found within the bodies of those letters; the third and fourth indexes seem to cover the subject files in Box 6.
