Marked by John Fitton Gibbs, son of well documented John Gibbs -- marvelously elongated coffin-end handle, tiny sugarloaf shoulders, feathered script mono P B on front; 5-5/8" long. Mark is incompletely struck, but it is readable, and clearly the same as that shown in book on Old Deerfield silver, p. 226. Trace of tipwear, but otherwise in excellent condition.
