This is a very nice lot of one antique solid sterling silver souvenir spoon from Catalina Island, California, and two very old Catalina postcards (more info on cards and spoon below). Catalina is a resort island and popular cruise ship destination off the coast of Southern California, not far from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. It started being popular as a resort in about the 1880's and still is today. Spoon: The spoon is about 5-1/4" and is in very good condition. It is probably from about the 1890's. It is a well-made solid silver spoon that is figural - it has a goldwashed shell-shaped bowl with "Catalina" hand-engraved in it. It has a fish-shaped handle, front and back, with a scaly critter in the waves who looks like he's smiling. It has a tiny bit of very light surface scratching and tarnish, not much. Marked with "Sterling" with the old H in a pennant hallmark for Watson. It weighs about 17.5 grams or .62 ounce (.56 Troy oz.) on my digital point scale. POSTCARDS Also included: I know nothing about selling postcards or how to grade them, so please ask any questions. Top: "Many types of craft gather in Avalon Bay, Santa Catalina Island, Cal." Unmailed, no writing, edge and corner wear. Linen-type, probably from the 1940's or so. Bottom left: Older but similar view of Avalon Bay, unmailed. Much less construction on the hillsides Shows the Wrigley Mansion at the top and the Holly Hill house at the bottom right, but not much else t Has some old boats. Good condition, light corner and edge wear. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS!
