Kathryn Buhler, for many years the silver expert at Boston's Museum of Fine 
Arts and curator of their landmark 1956 exhibition "Colonial Silversmiths, 
Masters & Apprentices", got her start in the silver field when she edited 
the notes of the late Ernest Currier for the posthumous 1938 publication of 
his classic book "Marks of Early American Silversmiths". She went on to 
catalog the MFA's colonial silver collection in "American Silver 1655-1825 
in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston", and co-authored, with Graham Hood, 
"American Silver. Garvan and Other Collections in the Yale University", as 
well as cataloging the famous Harrington Collection of colonial 
Massachusetts silver.

An excellent association copy.
