This design of spoon dates from about 1900. Its called a "Washington sword spoon" (Washington was of course a Mason). You'll find several original ones listed for sale with slightly different designs if you google "sword spoon". Nice spoon!

Im guessing its silver right?

Hi,

Dose it have the same Sterling mark on the back like the one on Ebay and can you post it? I know I very little about these spoons. I know they are common today in plated Gold and Silver and, they are decorative/commemorative spoons. This one seems older and solid silver, great find....

Keep @ It and HH!!
