Old Silver Made my Day!

Spent a sweltering morning on a new site. Finds of the day are the French dyking shovel and the early silver spoon...need to do some research on the hallmark.

That spoon is really cool, can it be straightened?

That spoon is really cool, can it be straightened?

That's my plan...will check with a jeweller. Shouldn't be too difficult.

That "Carson City" silver spoon is really sweet. I just love hand engraved silver items.

The spoon could be heated and straightened, I'd have a professional do it. Congrats R13!

Nice old spoon. Be nice to see when you are done with it.

I'm going to see if I can have it straightened locally but will most likely send it to the US for restoration...but I will definitely post the updated pics!

Now that's different... an early local silversmith. Pretty rare find considering early solid silver spoons are tough to find in general.
