We are always happy to combine shipping on multiple wins to save you money. This is a really outstanding, large solid sterling silver antique souvenir or collector spoon commemorating the great American patriot and inventor, Benjamin Franklin . This is a very early, ornate example of one of the first patterns made as a dedicated souvenir spoon. The handle has the bust of Mr. Franklin, and "1706 - 1790", his lifespan. It also shows the American Eagle and Shield and "His Birthplace". The back of the handle has the word, "Philadelphia", and shows the "Liberty Bell", the "Printing Press" and "Independence Hall". The bowl has a detailed embossed view of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, w the Declaration of Independence was signed. It is marked "Sterling" on the back of the handle with no other hallmark. It is about 5-7/8" long and heavy for its size. No monogram or other engraving.It is in very good condition, with a little light scratching, not much. It weighs about 27.0 grams or .95 ounces of solid sterling silver, on my digital point scale. It is not tarnished and has a nice patina. PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS!
