HOLD
Tracing to mid 19th century Boston, this 6 3/4" long, .7 T. oz., jelly or large sugar spoon is marked "Currier & Trott" for the partnership between watchmakers and jewelers, Richard and Peter respectively, which lasted 1823-55.
The Fiddle Tipt pattern of this places it toward the latter end of those years.
A finely crafted piece, it has a shell bowl with notched and scalloped edges.
There is a finely engraved script "LR to ECL" monogram engraved on the handle backside. This is a handsome addition to an otherwise unadorned item.
Free of signs of use, this is without wear, bends, or dents, and has a brilliant finish.
