Description
Today we are offering a large collection of mostly New England, early American, Coin Silver Spoons, recently acquired from an old estate. This listing is for a large, coin silver serving spoon made by Whiting Manufacturing of North Attleboro, Bridgeport, CT and Providence, RI. This spoon measures 8 1/4″ in length and is made in the classic fiddle back design with a monogrammed “S” on the handle and a fluer-di-lis type design on the end. It is marked on the back of the handle “W (lion) Coin,” and dates to 1866-90. The spoon weighs 43.1 grams. A lovely, very early piece of coin silver and part of our shared national heritage.
RIAM Return Policy
RIAM stands behind the authenticity of our offerings and the accuracy and completeness of our descriptions. Please consider all information on tags and inspect merchandise carefully when in the shop, or review all photos and copy carefully when shopping online. Because minor imperfections from age and normal use are common with antique items, and “part swapping” or damage resulting from handling, cleaning, or attempted repairs is not uncommon, ALL SALES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL unless verifiable proof of significant misrepresentation is provided by the buyer. Under certain circumstances, some RIAM sellers will consider return requests for reasons including “didn’t fit” or “just didn’t like it”, however the decision to accept a return is entirely at each RIAM seller’s discretion. Depending on circumstances, authorized returns may require a restocking fee of up to 18% and in any case must come back exactly as sold. It is best to inquire about possible return options for any particular item before making your purchase.
