Marked with Watson's Mechanics division pennant emblem and the word "Sterling," this teaspoon measures 5 7/8" long and weighs a substantial 1.1 T. oz.
The pattern is a Daisy and appears to be a variant from Watson's Floral Series No. 2 issued in 1903.
As was characteristic of the company's products, the die work is intricately detailed, presented in high relief, and struck with precision.
The finish is a soft, satin gray.
The bowl of this is engraved in script with the name "Gertrude," suggesting it was originally a gift or presentation piece. Given its mint estate condition, the recipient must have reserved it as a cherished artifact rather than an eating implement.
