a fine pair of antique American serving spoons,

Robert Swan, Philadelphia circa 1795. As readers of this page will know, every now and again we have the good fortune to come upon an object that's been tucked away in a drawer for some unknown reason, and seldom if ever used. Usually, it dates from the 1880's or even a bit later. Until now, we've never offered any antique American silver in such condition and I am indeed proud to do so. Length 9 7/8 inches, monogram "FMD" in conjoined period script, please be sure to view all four photographs.
