That's exactly what he means jorge. This specific design is from the 1500's.

Others have long ago proved this relics rarity, age, and value, but I echo everyone else on the forum's sentiments, and hope this find gets the recognition that is way overdue.

Sure that buddy, :thumbsup: With what you guy's found know and helped with on this that was more than enough in my books. :notworthy: But I just feel I owe it to you all now to do my part to at least prove as best I can with anything I find out to what it is. Age,rarity,and maker!
Reguards,
Pete! :thumbsup:
 

Re: A Rare 16th Century Spoon Mold Find!

Pete,
We are all looking forward to what you are teasing about.

I have had one other thought for you to consider.

At Old Salem (in Winston-Salem) there is a shop with two craftsmen who make pewter spoons from molds very similar to yours. They make them for sale in the gift shop. They are very good craftsmen. Their molds have been made by taking castings from old spoons and then reproducing the mold from that. They are, as I said very competent craftsmen.

There is likely a way for them to cast half a pewter spoon from your mold so you could see what it looked like. They would have to make a dummy other half. I think they could do it.

Or, of course, perhaps the Master you have contacted could do it for you. You would be expected to post a photo of the result on here.

Just something to ponder. Do a search for Old Salem and look around the web site, it is a well known historic site.
