I always have a lot of great silver listed, so please check out my other items!~~We offer FREE First Class shipping within the US no matter how many items you win, and we ship within one business day of confirmed payment.  Should you choose Priority or International, we are happy to combine shipping on multiple wins to save you money on postage. 

If you are more than one item and would like to have them shipped together, please wait to pay until I have sent you an invoice with all items on it, thanks.  I have other souvenir spoons listed now, too.

This is a very nice antique souvenir spoon from Dubuque, Iowa, probably from around 1907 or so.  More information, including weight, below.

The bowl is hand-engraved with a detailed scene of the “High School, Dubuque, Ia.” 

The spoon itself is in the popular Meadow Rose pattern, introduced by the popular maker, Watson of Massachusetts, in 1907.

Length:  It is about 5-1/8″ long.

Engraving:  No engraving, other than the bowl.

Maker’s marks:  It is marked “Sterling” with the old H in a flag hallmark for Watson, a company later acquired by Wallace.

Condition:  Very good.  It has a tiny bit of very light surface scratching, not much, and has a bit of surface tarnish here and there. 

Weight:  It weighs about 18.2 grams or .64 ounce (.58 Troy oz.) on my digital point scale.

RETURN POLICY: If, for any reason, you are
unhappy with an item you have won from me, I have a no-questions-asked
full refund policy.  If I happened to miss something in the description,
please do not assume that I am trying to misrepresent the item; I would
never do that.  I am only human and do make mistakes occasionally.  In
the case of items with more than one piece, the entire item must be
returned in good condition, no partial lots accepted.  Please notify me of your intent to return an item as soon as possible after receipt and return it within 14 days.

Any white, dark or other off-color spots are camera flash or reflection.  Please bear in mind that color can vary from monitor to monitor.  I always photograph the exact item that I am listing and do not use stock photographs.

If you like silver, we highly recommend Silver Magazine as an excellent resource.
