FAIR lists Imperial Half Bushel as an unclaimed public-directory Baltimore, MD profile with Antiques and Estate categories; estate/probate routing; American Silver, Baltimore Silver, Stieff Silver, and Kirk Silver specialty language; source checked 2026-05-26. FAIR does not show website/contact evidence, fee statement, public USPAP education detail, credential field, or claim/control status. A same-name public site at imperialhalfbushel.com presents Imperial Half Bushel in Baltimore and gives 831 N. Howard Street, [email protected], and phone contacts, but its 2019 home/news language says the retail shop closed after 43 years and online sales continue with smaller stock, so confirm contact route and whether appraisal/report work is offered before relying on the FAIR listing. The site describes a shop specializing in antique and estate silver, with stock tied to Baltimore silver production, repoussé designs, Samuel Kirk, Andrew E. Warner, Kirk-Stieff, other American silver, and some foreign silver. Its indexes organize objects by manufacturer, holloware, flatware, miscellaneous, coin silver, foreign silver, and categories such as candlesticks, tea and coffee sets, trays, holloware, flatware, and coin silver. Research pages mention Baltimore City Assay Office marks, Maryland jewelers/watchmakers/silversmiths/opticians through 1915, unidentified American silver marks, and Patrick M. Duggan Baltimore silver research. Treat this as a silver-specialty lead requiring direct confirmation of service area, report purpose, inspection method, fees, and availability.
Supported specificity is silver, especially American and Baltimore silver, not broad furniture appraisal. FAIR lists American Silver, Baltimore Silver, Stieff Silver, Kirk Silver, Antique Silver Appraisals, Estate Valuations, and Silver Valuation. The same-name site focuses on antique and estate silver, Baltimore repoussé, Kirk, Stieff, Warner, Schofield, Jacobi/Jenkins, holloware, flatware, coin silver, tea and coffee pieces, trays, ladles, serving pieces, and foreign silver.
Before outreach, gather clear photos of marks, maker or retailer names, pattern names, monograms, measurements, weight, materials, condition, repairs, provenance, invoices, estate documents, and any prior valuation notes. Ask whether Imperial Half Bushel currently prepares written appraisal reports or only offers sales/research guidance, whether inspection is in person or photo-assisted, which value definition applies, how fees are billed, and whether the report purpose is estate, insurance, donation, sale planning, or identification.
