Made by the mid 19th century Boston silver manufacturer Farrington & Hunnedwell, this 5 15/16" long, .77 T. oz., coin silver sugar spoon was retailed by Worcester jeweler Benjamin Goddard, whose name, along with the maker's "F&H" mark, appears on the handle backside.
Very much in the manner of its 1860s period, and engagingly so, it has a twisted stem and a flat, shaped-edge, handle that is bright cut and wriggle work engraved in a period design.
The engraved area includes an open reserve which in this instance is inscribed with an embellished Old English "p" monogram.
The bowl is shell form, with a double scalloped edge.
In excellent condition, this evidences minimal polishing wear. The bowl is without bends, dents, cracks, or nicks, and the finish exhibits a warm patina.
