Was having bad luck today at g sales, especially since my app was set to Saturday and it was Sunday so I started off the day by going to three non existent g sales lol. Anyways I quit the gsales and hit a thrift instead. Previously I found a small sterling toothpick bowl here but they usually pull all silver and put it in the case. I approached the rack where they hang bags of spoons, forks, knives, etc. I spotted a tarnished piece and it said Sterling so I immediately grabbed the bag and noticed an old spoon in the same bag. I started looking some more and there were some other bags with more sterling spoons. As I was looking another hunter came up next to me and started looking as well. He reached up in front of me trying to find some stuff since he saw I had four bags, so I looked down and found another bag with a very old coin spoon. I ended up with 5 bags at $3 each bag. Some bags had one spoon while one had 4 spoons. I got a decent amount of silver weight for $15 but cooler than that is the age of some of these spoons.
This first spoon is Jones, Ball & Poor 1846-1853 and is my oldest spoon!
Wasn't able to identify this one. Has the initials W.H. Looks 1800s.
Not able to identify this either looks like Tra S Town? and then Warranted. This was the spoon I almost lost!
Next spoon is very cool, Palmer & Bachelders marked Pure Coin.
Another spoon from Birmingham 1899.
Some generic smaller Sterling spoons.
Finally my favorite spoon, Alaska Pacific Yukon Expo. held in Seattle Washington 1909. One of these sold on ebay for $40! I'll be keeping mine though.
