Price for the set of four. HOLD
A matched set, each of these four place, aka dessert or soup, spoons measures 7 1/8" long, with the group weighing 5.0 T. oz.
They are all stamped "Duhme & Co.," for the Cincinnati manufacturer and jeweler, and all have the same feathered "TGM" monogram inscribed sideways on their handle.
The pattern is "No. 1," introduced in 1869.
These have twisted stems with flat, oval, ends, which are engraved with wriggle work borders as well as leaf and other period detailing."
An online commentator notes that there are at least six types or variations of this design, apparently the most common of which has a pointed handle end. This is one of two "knob" end versions.
In choice condition, these are free of wear, retain crisp engraving, have warm finishes, and are without dents, bends, or nicks in the pointed tip bowls.
