COLONIAL SILVER SPOON ? & IH'S!

got out with Frankie boy today.we both had the day off and thought we would take advantage of the warm day.
2 IH's (my 49th on the year) 1882 & 1898,a small silvered flat button and a monogrammed silver spoon that unfortunately has the bowl portion all mangled.i tried to unfold it slowly with plyers but where the folds are it started cracking from stress so, i stopped.it's not hallmarked but no doubt silver.the monogramed lettering style seems colonial era to me.

Congrats on the Colonial silver spoon, Dave. Chris found a "Coin Silver" spoon two years ago in a pasture. They are cool digs. Take care and stay warm in Colonial CT. :icon_thumleft:

Re: COLONIAL SILVER SPOON ? & IH'S!

Not a child's spoon. It is a demitasse spoon - used to stir your coffee or tea. The styling is colonial, but it is hard to put a date on it. Could be from a ladies tea set. The bowl looks like it was in a fire.

Beautiful IH's and spoon. Almost looks "gold."

A. R. Arthur Paul Revere. ha!

Good job! If you can look up the old land records of where you found it, you might find a clue. Good luck!

As for the other item, looks like it might be a hook of some type maybe. Doesn't swivel, so isn't a latch of any kind, I presume. Interesting....

Re: COLONIAL SILVER SPOON ? & IH'S!

I agree your spoon appears to be colonial to very early 1800s. I have found a couple with initials like that. In fact, I started a colonial silver spoon thread on the Best Finds forum to try get all these neat spoons in one thread.
