The Kings pattern is a fiddle handle with scrolled and threaded edges and includes a scallop shell and anthemion motifs in relief along the stem. Silversmith David B. Nichols (1791-1860) worked in Savannah, Georgia in 1815-39 and 1843-55. He formed a brief partnership with John P. Smith in 1820 as D.B. Nichols & Co. and continued as D.B. Nichols & Co. until 1830. In March 1825 Lafayette medallions and watch, waist, and ribbon badges were offered for sale in commemoration of his visit to Savannah, all “suitable for the ball.”
