Description: This is a lovely specialty serving spoon in the Spartan pattern by Baker-Manchester Silver Co. This pattern features a knight's helmet with feathery plume. It's extra fancy. My reference books say the pattern was introduced 1898, but the back of this spoon indicates a patent date in 1900. Adding to the mystery -- I assumed it was a sugar spoon, but the bowl doesn't look like items so named on popular pattern matching sites. So, it could be one of the numerous specialty spoons (picadilly, relish, etc.) that I can't match without seeing a whole pattern legend. To boot, many manufacturers changed body types over the years while keeping the pattern static (i.e., handle never changes, but sugar bowl could have multiple variations). Ok, you know what I know here now. This specialty server measures 5.5". Silver weight is 14 grams. Condition: Excellent giftable condition. No monogram. There are no reportable condition issues such as pings, dings, pitting, scratches, gouges, carbon spots, or bends. Surface patina consistent with age. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. Please ask me for specific quote if you feel shipping cost is too high. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. If you have a question on an item prior to purchase, please ask. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
