Offered is a lovely and well-made American coin silver teaspoon by the noted firm of Robert and William Wilson, working as R. & W. Wilson of Philadelphia circa 1825-50. This spoon has a slimmer spatulate handle and greater weight than their more American-style wares - the Wilsons seem to have had a line of silver flatware more akin to British examples of the times, and these were usually marked with the R&WW mark. This spoon measures about 6 1/8 inches long and weighs a very heavy 26 grams. It has a period engraved script monogram of "WMB" and a clear maker's mark. Condition is very good overall, with a few tiny dings or scratches and normal signs of use, but no major dents and no splits or repairs. All in all a fine example for display or use!
