John Vogler; silversmith, gunsmith. Salem, North Carolina ca. 1810

A silver table spoon by John Vogler.
Note the impressed eagle on the bottom of the bowl. This is the best of Vogler's spoons.


This long rifle is the production of the Salem gunsmith's shop under John Vogler and therefore is termed a "Vogler" gun.
