there was no hallmark Dave. so ..no clue. it's coin silver though and the AR is definitely old style engraving
 

I'd say you should be happy.... :icon_scratch: Your lucky he was even able to straiten that mess and for $15 can't beat it !! :icon_thumleft:

Way to go!! :headbang: Awesome home made coin silver spoon with great restoration ! :notworthy:

Keep @ it and HH !! :D ;D
 

Heavymetal you should be estatic :thumbsup: that spoon turned out awesome for the condition it was in and for $15.00 you should be jumping for joy that silversmith did a great job. :smileinbox:
 

Are you kidding? That's a great job! I wouldn't want it looking perfect.
 

thanks guys! :thumbsup:
 

I agree, the silversmith did a wonderful job of restoring that awesome find and at a good price. :thumbsup:

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

late 1700's-early 1800's no doubt

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.

Man thats a sweet spoon HMN!
 

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.
