Item Description: Offered here is a fine heavy sterling silver table or dessert spoon in a Shell pattern. This could be the product of any number of makers who offered this pattern, but to my eye it most closely resembles that of the Towle Silversmiths originally issued in 1890. Measuring 8 3/4" in length, it weighs in a 2.26 ounces Troy and has the letter "M" monogrammed as an old English letter. There is no maker's mark, but the back is marked "Sterling" & "Bigelow Kennard & Co" , an early retailer that operated under this name from 1863 until its demise in 1972. <p> Conditionwise, it does have some inconsequential use scuffing and light scratch up near the monogram but is otherwise undamaged. Given the weight and heft of this piece, I do believe that both the scratch and the monogram could be polished out with good results. <p> Seller’s Policies:<p> Buyer to pay shipping and insurance in accordance with current USPS rates. Nothing is added for handling or materials. Payment is expected within 5 days after close of listing. PayPal, credit cards & money orders will expedite shipping, usually within 24-48 hours of receipt of payment. Personal checks may be held up to 14 days for clearance. Standard sized packages are shipped via USPS Priority Mail, and ONLY in the case of items paid for via PayPal, Parcel Post may be used to save cost for oversized or unusually heavy packages. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS – Shipping will be significantly higher and will vary depending upon destination. Please check for rate prior to bidding.<p> Photos are intended to be an integral part of the description and should be carefully reviewed. Please keep in mind that antiques and vintage items are, by virtue of time and technology, rarely "mint" by modern-day standards. Items described as "perfect" may be expected to be free of damage such as chips, cracks, hairlines or excessive discoloration. They may be expected to carry reasonable signs of the sometimes less precise methods of early manufacture, or perhaps a bit of wear here and there. Simply stated, in the context of antiques, “Perfect” is not the same as “Flawless”, “Proof” or “Mint”. <p> I take great care to accurately represent the condition of each item and guarantee every item to be as described. Returns will be accepted provided we are notified within three calendar days of receipt of your purchase and the item is mailed back within 7 calendar days. Postage is non-refundable unless the return is occasioned by a significant error in attribution or statement of condition. Inherent as-made flaws as described above will not justify a return of postage.<p> If you have any questions about anything at all, I am always happy to answer email prior to bidding, but please allow 24 hours for a response.
