THIS IS NOT SPAM, though it does refer to something for sale.  I do not
endorse, nor do I even know much about the book, but...
 
In the current issue of ArchNotes, publication of the Ontaria
Archaeological Society, I find a publication notice of a new book on trade
silver.  "Silver in the Fur Trade (1680-1800), by Martha W. Hamilton, 15
Bartlett Street, Chelmsford, MA 01824, USA telephone 508-256-6017.  It
"documents over 250 trade silver maker's marks and their biographies;
summarizes the historic trading routes of teh Native American, British,
Dutch, French and American; explains the traditional construction, the
prescribed shapes, and their Indian names and uses; etc."
238pp, 220 illustrations, 20 in color, $58 Canadian covers shipping.
