Hooray for English Silver marks. This is a souviner spoon made by L&S silversmiths in 1902. It was cherrypicker from a pile of plated spoons(30 or so) at a estate sale. I'm sure many hands went thru them before me. Paid $2.50. weight 7 gms.

I love british marked stuff . You get so much more info about a item off british marks . There hall marks are well published to so its easy to figure out what you got . Great spoon find . I caught a bunch of sterling and a 14k gold rope chain in $.25 bins at a estate sale . No one bothered to short and look at markings sometimes i wonder about estate sale ppl .
