Scarce St. Louis Coin Silver Spoon by William C. Defriez Ca. 1849
$24.00
Offered is a good St. Louis coin silver spoon bearing the mark of William C. Defriez of St. Louis, circa 1849, give or take a few years. This piece has a clear maker's or retailer's mark. There is no monogram, but the the front may have been buffed, so there could be an erasure. This spoon measures about 5 13/16 inches in length, and weighs about 15 grams. Condition is fair at best, with some surface wear and minor signs of use, but no splits or repairs. All in all a nice example of this mark!
