$80.00

Measuring 8 1/8" long and weighing 1.8 T. oz., this coin silver item has a generously sized, 2 1/2" diameter, shell-shaped, pierced, bowl and "Reverse Tipt" handle.

Generally identified as a large sugar sifter, there is some argument to be made that pieces this scale from this period were actually early ice spoons.

In either case, it is a fine representation of what it is.

It is stamped "R. Fisher, Jr." and "331 Broad Way, N.Y." on the reverse, for Richard Fisher, working 1846-50, also in partnership of "Thompson & Fisher."

There is a feathered script "EI" monogram engraved on the handle front.

In very fine condition, it gives little evidence of its age; it is absent any polishing wear, bends, nicks, or other damage, and has a warm, even, finish.
