HOLD
Lengthy at 8 7/8" and weighing .9 T. oz., this olive spear or pick is solid silver.
The pattern is "Thistle," which is an early 20th century Art Nouveau design made by R. Blackinton & Co.
The high relief thistle flowers and leaves run the full length of both sides of the handle, with the leaves extending onto the shoulders of the twist.
Never monogrammed, this is in flawless condition. It retains clear pattern detail that is free of any polishing wear. There are no bends or burrs, and the finish is bright and even.
Marks are "Sterling" and "Pat. 1901."
