<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 10465675, member: 111&quot;]Continuing with another mermaid, this one a late 19th-early 20th century souvenir spoon, silverplate mermaid handle on a scallop shell bowl, produced by the misleadingly named U.S. Sterling Co., nice to see the &#039;Leavenworth, Kans.&#039;, I was born in and lived in Kansas as a kid, my brother is still there and had been stationed at Fort Leavenworth.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526453[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526454[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Picked up this fairly inexpensive unmarked silverplate fish set with ivory handles in the original case, charmed by the dolphin winding around a trident (knife 12.5&quot;, fork 9.5&quot;). The case exterior wasn&#039;t in bad condition, only minor damage to the grained paper covering, but the interior was a different story, the navy blue velvet base fine, but the lid&#039;s blue silk shattered - so I replaced the silk and am happy with the result.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526455[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526456[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526457[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526458[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526459[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="5">Still a bit more to post...</font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
