1890s Casino de Monte Carlo 800 Silver Souvenir Spoon w/ Spinning Roulette Wheel
Regular price
$276.00
Presented is a fabulous circa 1890s silver souvenir spoon from the Casino de Monte Carlo. This piece displays a crisp high relief scene of the casino building in the bowl and a decorative handle. The top of the handle has an enamelled roulette wheel that really spins!
The back of the wheel is marked with German hallmarks: the 800 purity mark, the crescent moon and crown, and a maker's mark.
We have found other ones online, but this is the only one we found with a spinning wheel and a decorated bowl. This piece is in excellent overall condition. The wheel spins smoothly. The decorative bowl is well-defined. There are no breaks, no splits, and no repairs.
Length: about 4 1/4 inches
Weight: 11.5 grams or 0.4 ounces -kc
