Watertown or Utica, NY Coin Silver Spoon by Lewis Wicks Clark, c.1830s

Offered is a nice example of the work of silversmith Lewis Wicks Clark, working in Watertown, New York between about 1832 and 1837, and in Utica in 1838. Lewis W. Clark married in 1843, so he lived at least that long, but his death date may be unknown. This spoon by style would fit well into the 1830s but could be from the 1840s. It measures about 6 1/8 inches in length and weighs about 19 grams. It has a rubbed but still legible maker's mark of L.W.CLARK and a period engraved script monogram. Condition overall is good, with modest wear from normal usage but no dents, splits or repairs. All in all a nice example of this maker's mark!
