Fine Crisp Durgin Strawberry Coin Silver Large Serving Spoon 1860 - 70s
Regular price
$385.00
Presented is a very fine quality American coin silver serving spoon in the Strawberry pattern made by the Durgin silver company. I believe this pattern was first made in the 1860s and this piece was certainly made in the 1860s or 1870s. The pattern is incredibly crisp on this server. It looks like it has never been used. Even the strawberry and leaf decoration on the reverse is in pristine condition. The interior of the bowl is beautifully hand engraved. Everything is as crisp as the day it was made. This is a fairly large serving piece and the bowl is quite big. The spoon is monogrammed on the front with the letter K in old English or Gothic style. The reverse is also engraved T E Kidder.
The reverse of the spoon is marked Pure Coin and Patent.
The condition is excellent. There are no breaks and no repairs and no monogram removals.
The length is 9 1/8 inches.
The weight is 86.7 grams or 3 ounces.
