Miss c. G. Maull, curator of the
museum at the Zwaanendael House
in Lewes, has urged residents in
this vicinity, and elsewhere in the
surrounding territory to examine
their silverware in an effort to find
an article made by William Parker,
silversmith.
Parker is known to be a silver
smith of Sussex County who at one
time had a shop somewhere between
Lewes and Milford on the state
road; about four miles north of
Lewes. While he is registered in
papers of the "olden days" as far
as known not one article of his
workmanship has come to light.
The museum is anxious to secure
a specimen of his work for local
historical value.
In the paper formerly known as
the Pennsylvania Packet" under
the date of September 10. 177S, his
place was offered for sale. but what
disposition was made of it is not
known.
1t is thought that some of his
products might have been distri-
buted around Milford. Lewes, and
nearby territory.
