The Mississippi River appears in the foreground, with the bridge prominently featured, and the city scape on the far banks. The bright cutting and engraving are quite finely rendered and set against a gold wash... Click for details

This 5 3/4" long and weighty item is variously identified as an orange, fruit, or melon spoon, and sometimes misidentified as a pap spoon. The bowl is a form favored by Durgin. It has a bulbous bowl with a slightly asymmetrical funnel ti... Click for details

It was known largely for silver-plate, but this example is sterling. Second, the subject is the "Memorial Arch" in Bushnell Park in Hartford, Connecticut.

Here's a very interesting souvenir spoon - I would say one of a kind. This is the Plymouth pattern made by Rogers in 1897. Engraved on the tip of the handle is the word "Freeport", and on the back "Mch 24, 98". I'm assuming it's a souvenir spoon - but it could be almost anything - - someone's last name and a wedding or annive... Click for details
