What an elegant coin silver piece! From the 19th century, this large serving spoon measures nearly 9" long and has a 3" by 1 3/4" bowl. Beautifully crafted, it is signed by the maker "J.S. ABBOTT" and has faint initials engraved on it that look like "R.P.J."

In very fine condition, the spoon has minimal wear, with gentle use. It has a very small ding in the bowl that is unnoticeable in my opinion, except when held in a certain way in the light or felt carefully by touch. It is otherwise about as perfect as can be expected for a 100+ yr old treasure. I welcome any information on this maker and spoon.
