Technically this is the “work hunt #3” thread but the spoon deserved the title. HaHa
Im starting to like these quick stops during work because I’ve been having some good luck. I stopped today at a old site i hit other years down there before and were i found one of my other colonial sterling spoons. I was surprised to dig this one out today. I found it already ben and badly tarnished. Maybe ill clean it up eventually. I know its not the prettiest one but finding it made my 14 hour work day way more bearable thats for sure. I believe this spoon is early 1700’s because i researched before that the teaspoons of that time could possibly only have one single mark or none at all like this one. The one thing unusual about this spoon is where the bowl attaches to the handle it has like peddle shapes coming out of it. I know some things can be learned by the style and manufacture process so anyone with more info on this spoon is appreciated. Thanks for looking! [emoji2][emoji106]
