Nichols opened a shop on Bryan Street in 1815 and conducted business in the city for over two decades. In 1839, he sold his stock in trade to Oscar J. H. Dibble (1812–1860) and went north for a few years, returning to Savannah in 1843 and operating at the corner of Whitaker and Bryan Streets. He continued advertising as a watchmaker in the city until his death in 1860. This spoon has elaborately decorated handles that align with the increased ornament seen in American decorative arts of the pre-Civil War. Because it required more silver to create the raised decorations, it would also have been more expensive for the customer
