An early line pattern first issued in 1861 to a coin silver standard, "Cottage" continued in production for many years, through Gorham's transition to sterling in 1868.
This 7" long, T. oz., preserve spoon is an early example marked "Patent 1861" and "Coin."
The bowl is shell form with a scalloped and dotted edge.
There is a feathered script "HSS" monogram delicately engraved sideways on the handle front.
This is in outstanding estate condition, absent polishing wear or damage and showing a bright finish. The bowl is without dents, bends, or cracks.
