HOLD
Marked on the reverse "Palmer. Bachelders & Co.," this 6 7/8" long, 1.4 T. oz., coin silver serving spoon traces to 1860s Boston.
The pattern is Olive, which while a standard design that was widely produced, and notably popular in the Boston area, there are variations in design among manufacturers.
This example shows clean style, with balanced proportions and well-articulated detail.
A preserve spoon, it has a shell form bowl that is finished with a bright gold wash front and back sides.
The slightly upturned handle reverse is engraved with an Old English "E.F." monogram.
In mint estate condition, this is free of either wear or damage and possesses a mirror-like finish.
