When do you figure this spoon dates to Dave? :icon_scratch:
I'm thinking early 19th century? :-\

Looks good to me...I like the two spoons displayed together. Nice work for $15 bucks...I've spent that on two beers in the city with no nice spoon to show for it.

Wow! :o That is amazing! I think he did a great job myself, and you can't beat that piece. Money well spent. :thumbsup:
Where did you find him, is he a local guy?
I'd loved to have his contact info if you don't mind PMing it to me.
Thanks for the updated post and pictures.
