I almost always have a lot of great silver listed, so please check out my other auctions~~ We have really reasonable shipping, and we ship within 24 hours of confirmed payment and are happy to combine shipping on multiple wins. We start most of our auctions at $9.99, regardless of higher actual value. This is a very nice heavy, well-molded antique solid sterling silver spoon from Cable, Montana. Cable, Montana, is now a ghost town. It was named to commemorate the laying of the second transatlantic cable in 1867. The handle has a detailed figural miner or prospector front and back. This is a beautiful spoon. He is holding a goldwashed nugget in his hand and beneath his feet it says, "Struck it at last." It is about 4-1/8" long and heavy for its size. T is no wear to the handle at all - the mold is crisp. The lightly goldwashed bowl is hand-engraved with "Cable, Mont." It is in very good condition with only a tiny bit of very light scratching and a bit of tarnish, mostly on the back of the bowl, not much. A couple of tiny letters were scratched in on the back of the handle near the sterling mark- I only noticed it with a loupe, no harm, possibly some past owner's mark, but I did want to mention it. It is marked "Sterling" on the back of the handle with the old H in a pennant hallmark for Watson. No monograms or other engraving, other than the bowl. It weighs about 14.1 grams or .50 ounces of solid sterling silver on my digital point scale. PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS!
