Calvin Coolidge was President from 1923-1929. In 1890, Boston silversmith Timothy Tuttle was first commissioned by wealthy families to copy old English silver. His original pieces were dated in the English custom with the crest of the reigning monarch. During the term of office of President Calvin Coolidge, Tuttle adopted this custom, marking each piece with a crescent and the initials of the incumbent President of the United States. Today this date mark is unique with Tuttle.
