Atlantic & North Carolina (A&NC) Railroad Spoon, Gorham Plated Silverware, Makro Legend 4kHz, Park

[Richard Guy]

Found this yesterday, 330 miles North of the most Northern A&NC Station, Morehead City (1859), NC. Seems that a Confederate Soldier could have had it in his mess-kit, just a guess. A&NC marking on the upper handle.

Cool find Richard. Gotta be some more goodies around there somewhere. GL

Cool spoon indeed but it's in 'King's' pattern and if it's Gorham marked, wasn't produced before 1890.

Thanks for the history. So much for the Southern Soldier idea
Still puzzling on how it made itself so far North.

Probably just a souvenir for a person that a meal in the train's dining car.
Thinking a little slip in the pocket/purse item.
