Nice early Onondage Metal Shops bowl with original patina.  The early pieces of OMS were a little heavier gauge than the more recent Benedict Studio pieces.  This one is signed with the overlapping "OMS" signature.

This is a great example of a Gustav Stickley hammered copper nut bowl.  These were offered in 4,5, & 6 inch diameters, but I have seen variations in size.  This particular bowl is the 6 inch version.

This is the detail of the bottom of the bowl above.  Notice the attached feet.  This was typical of the Gustav Stickley nut bowls.

Another great find.  A nice set of matching nut bowls with original patina.  These are unsigned but are most likely Benedict due to the lighter gauge copper.  Still looking for the large center bowl.

A larger photo showing more detail of the nut bowls.  Notice the fine hammering highlighted by the dark patina.

Another single nut bowl, cleaned but signed on the bottom "Benedict Studio".

A great Benedict Studios complete nut set.  This set has six small nut bowls, larger center bowl and nut spoon.  Photo courtesy of Rago Arts.

This is a signed Benedict nut bowl and spoon set.  Although this is a later piece, it still has some nice work in it and is worthy of recognition.

This is the matching set of nut bowls for the larger bowl above.

A well crafted and signed Benedict bowl.  This bowl is nickel silver over copper and is signed with the later "Double B" mark.  The rim of the bowl has a great detailed decorative border.  This piece was produced after the Arts and Crafts era and is a fine example of how the company was able to shift gears and produce metal items that were in demand at the time.  I personally like the early pieces but this one is worth showing.
