    I have three more spoons from my husband's Uncle's house. I hesitate to give anything unknown away as he was quite eccentric and collected a lot! He also was a hoarder, so many things of value were kept in deplorable conditions, so it makes it very difficult to figure out what in the house has more traditional value and not just what was valuable to him. Thank you as much for the help and understanding on the many posts. IMG_3903.jpeg IMG_3904.jpeg IMG_3906.jpeg

    Definitely listen to @Bakersgma but if you are going to toss them alert one of us so we can be on standby when you pitch them out. ;):playful: :D:D

    The shape of the handle is referred to as a "fiddle handle" & quite often indicates the piece is made of coin silver. :happy:

    Can't wait to see what else you find. :happy::happy:

    Thank you so much for the help. It is quite overwhelming at times. This process has been going on for months. He had over 30 cats in the house and we had to find rescue and homes for all of them before we could really get to work.

    I approve of anyone who gives cats priority over spoons.

    Because I am fascinated by this hobby of finding antique spoons and I really want to help people research.
    Sydney Australia is having what started as a 2 week stay-at-home lockdown that has been extended another week. Last year we had a six month stay-at-home.

    Aren't other members supposed to help?

    I just read the rules and now understand that I can't send links to eby. OK
    It's a site that I research with because it gives a good description of the item and tells me the value.

    Which rule is that,you cannot post one of your listings? There are hundreds of links to Ebay listings here..... https://www.antiquers.com/threads/laughable-eboo-listings.28501/
