A large table or serving spoon, this piece measures 9" long and weighs 1.8 T. oz.
Coin silver, it is stamped "J. Guthre" for James Guthre, who worked in Wilmington, Delaware in the second quarter of the 19th century. References record him in partnership with Emmor Jefferis c. 1840.
Well-crafted, this has an exceptionally wide, flat with a slight downward arc, front with a subtle Tipt back, Fiddle handle.
This is engraved with a feathered, line script, "CP" monogram on the obverse.
The shoulders off the bowl are high, pointed, and have beveled edges.
In very fine condition, this spoon has been well-treated and shows little evidence of use. It is without bends, dents or tip wear in the bowl, or marring, and offers a warm, soft, patina.
