Featured HMS Dreadnought Sterling Spoon

Looking for the maker of the sterling spoon. Oddly enough, I can't seem to find any other examples of this spoon--anywhere! Nothing sold on eBay for the past 3 years. Can't seem to find another on the World Wide Web. Am I missing something or is it my usual lack of mental powers inhibiting me again?

Thanks for any info!

 

I don't know, haven't found another. Here's a souvenir spoon by the same maker

The maker is Dominion Jewelry of Toronto (marks shown are from my salt & spoon) - getting ready to eat dinner, but will see if the spoon is in any of my references in a bit...

Thanks, dragon I also happen to have that spoon in the link you provided!

 

That's a nice spoon, there were a number of versions of the 'Legend of the White Canoe' spoons, some better than others...

I didn't find your Prince of Wales/Dreadnought spoon either, even with a different bowl - so far as I know, there's only one (out of print) book specifically on Canadian spoons, and if I run across it, a bit pricey for me (do find info in old catalogs). Seems to be an uncommon, if not rare, spoon with the full figural of George, desirable for collectors of figurals, British royalty, and with the ship, maritime collectors as well, narrow dating window too, HMS Dreadnought launched in 1906, George V proclaimed King in 1910 - nice find!

Sorry, I'm no help with the spoon.
But... how does one check eBay sold listings for the last three years? I thought checking sold prices only went back three months.

 

Terapeak gives the option of checking prices for up to 3 years.

 

@vitry-le-francois - I assume this spoon also came from your "scrap lot".

Judging by the 2 pieces you have shown you might want to examine all of the pieces in the lot very carefully.

 

@bercrystal yes, all from the same lot Here are some pic's from the lot of silver purchased.
I paid $1500 for everything. Scrap value is $4450. My scrap dealer pays 90%, so about $4k in return. Unfortunately, the vast majority of this stuff has very little "collector" interest and it will be scraped.

 

I would NEVER scrap most of those ! Its an instant collection. What a shame,but i get that its business.

 

All those lovely old souvenir spoons!

 

The souvenir spoons won't be scrapped. Although most sell at or near scrap price.

 

ya...there's a whole lot of eye candy there !!!!

maybe a little research...... before scrapping ????

@komokwa The souvenir spoons won't be scrapped.

 

cross posting...... but good to know you're a sensible gentleman !!!!

 

@DragonflyWink - Do you see anything interesting??

Are those coin silver spoons in photo #2?

The spoons in photo #3 - are the bowls really "rippled" or is it an optical illusion?

The 2 female figural spoons are interesting in the last photo.

 

@bercrystal yes, those spoons have ripples...not ridges...as those would be potato chips.

Yes, coin silver spoons. All common makers.

I agree...they are Pocahontas and Indian Maiden/Niagra Falls.

 

Definitely some nice pieces...

Those are orange spoons, lots of variations in the bowls - posting a few below.

Suspect the rolled eyes are for nudity? Pocahontas, right of the nude should be clothed, and the Columbian Exposition lady to the left wears a loose gown.
