Southern birdback teaspoon -Thomas McConnell, Delaware

Pointed-end handle, c1790 -- this is the date at which McConnell became a silversmith in Wilmington. Mono is a feathered script LD, length is 5-1/4". Bird is lightly struck but all its parts are intact. Spoon is in very good condition, no tipwear, the handle a bit askew but nothing major. McConnell is not known for his birdback spoons; this may in fact be a rarity.
