<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lizjewel, post: 4389870, member: 13874&quot;]<i>Continued here</i>: The above linked spoon has the identical back pattern to my spoon. All other spoons viewed, 6-7 entries, have slightly different patterns on the back of the bowl, and also different stamps or no stamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was a much-copied spoon apparently. Mine is different from them for another reason: It is exactly 13.5 inches. All other spoons viewed were listed at 13 inches, one at 13 1/4 inches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is not in fine condition. It appears to have been subjected to very high heat once, as having been left in a pot or pan on a stove, a <i>no-no</i> to do to silverplated utensils.</p><p><br /></p><p>Half of the back of the bowl on my spoon is seriously blackened, almost scorched and I have spent some time trying to get rid of the black coating. One more way to try: my automatic polishing machine. It is difficult to get at right now so it&#039;ll have to wait.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t expect to sell my spoon. A big stuffing/serving spoon is always great to have and none I personally own is this long(!). Once cleaned it&#039;ll be useful. Yes, the black stuff is coming off by handpolishing, just not fast enough..</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again, fellow antiquer enthusiasts! Have a safe year![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
