Frank Smith "Newport Shell" Sterling Berry Spoon

This sterling silver berry spoon is 8 3/8" long and weighs a robust 2.0 T. oz. The pattern is Frank Smith's early 20th century "Newport Shell." The shell and bead motif of the design is carried into the bowl, which has decorated shoulders and a fluted edge. There is an Old English "V" monogram. The condition is very good. There is no polishing wear, and the finish is appealing. The bowl is well-shaped, and free of dents or burrs. The interior surface does show some light pinprick scratches. Marks are the Frank Smith emblem, and the words Sterling and Pat.
