This 4 1/4" long, sterling silver coffee spoon was made by Alvin as a souvenir of Nantucket, Massachusetts. It is single die struck, meaning the design appears only on one side. It features the "oldest house built 1686" on the handle, and "ye old wynde mill 1746" in the bowl, along with "Nantucket Mass." written on the shank. It is in flawless condition, and bears the Alvin logo and the word Sterling on the reverse.
