This 8 7/8" long spoon in Durgin's Iris is a somewhat uncommon item. It is a preserve spoon, with an elongated, 3 1/4" x 1 3/4", plum-shaped bowl. The bowl is plain, absent the decoration that appears on such as berry and salad servers. The retailer on this was Philadelphia's Bailey, Banks & Biddle. The age of the piece is self-documenting, from the script "FP" monogram on the obverse, accompanied by the script "June 2nd, 1906." engraved on the reverse. The condition is immaculate. The pa...

These six, sterling silver teaspoons are slightly over-sized at 6 1/8" long. The four together weigh 4.0 T. oz. They all match, and have the same script "M.E. Rouse." engraving, and are stamped "S.S. Newton." In his book on pseudo hallmarks, John McGrew identifies Newton as a mid 19th century, Winchester (Winstead), Connecticut retailer. The style of these is decidedly New York, and as Winchester is in Litchfield County on the New York border, that connection is plausible. They also have a ... Click for details

This over-sized (9 1/2" long, 3.0 T. oz.), circa 1885, serving spoon might have been intended for a variety of purposes, pudding being a likely one. The handle is plain with a rounded top and a modest amount of bright cutting. There is an "ALF" script monogram on the front and a script "WM" one on the reverse. The bowl, on the other hand, is spectacularly engraved, and a true tour de force of embellishment. The ground of the bowl is a matte finish gold, cut to a mirror finish on the silver. ...
