Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends

John Wendt BIRD sterling dessert spoon
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2470 $75.00
length 7 inches, weight an impressive 1.62 Troy ounces, marked as shown in fifth enlargement.
In many ways, this is an exemplary item, as it has had scant use, little pattern wear and is pleasantly heavy in the hand. Sadly, as may be seen in our second photo, there has been an erasure from the reverse. However, the spoon is still guaranteed to hold your soup or dessert!
