I assume it's plated. This was from new site that borders hammered site near work. I like the ornament work on the spoon. This is probably my 10th spoon.

I've heard these long handle spoons called ice cream or sunday spoons

Yep, looks plated, but still a nice find!

Yes your right

Definitely plated. It's National Silver Company's "Rose and Leaf" pattern, introduced in 1937. They only produced it in silver plate. Apart from the obvious sign that the plating has worn through to the underlaying base metal on the resting surface of the bowl, marks such as 'A1' on flatware are common manufacturer designations for the quality/thickness of electroplate.

'replacements.com' sell it as an "iced tea spoon", which I think was the original designation in the National catalogue.

We have some of those long handled spoons in modern stainless steel. Handy for stirring iced tea or serving jam and relish out of deep bottles.
