One of Whiting's earliest patterns, "Armor" was patented in 1871, as stamped on the reverse of this 5 7/8" long, .6 T. oz., sugar spoon.
Other marks include the company's "lion and W" logo, "Sterling," and the name of the retailer, "Geo. W. Biggs," Pittsburgh, 1868-1903.
This has a shell bowl that is finished in a bright gold wash front and back sides.
Never monogrammed, this is without polishing wear, has a flawless bowl save for a surface scuff on the back side, and shows a bright finish.
