Antique silver spoon

This spoon has the marking "Roger's & Hamilton with a patent date of 1895 and has a gorgeous color from the oxidation. No other marks or blemishes.

Does anyone have any idea how I can determine its value?

Thank you!

 

Hello again, Kristen. The pattern name is Aldine and it is silver plated, not sterling. About all you can do to estimate value is to see if you can find sold listings for similar spoons on eBay or Etsy. Looks like the bowl of a jam spoon. https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/SPPatterns/RogersHamilton.html

I used to collect this kind of thing and have entirely too many. But I haven't bought in almost 10 years, so what I paid is long gone from the memory back and wouldn't relate to today's market anyway.

 

patent date of 1895......does not mean it was made then...

 

Haha, thank you so much! Clearly I do not know much about this stuff.

 

That's okay Kristen. That's why we're here!
