We ship within 24 hours of confirmed payment. This is a lot of four vintage solid sterling silver souvenir spoons and one silverplated spoon from places around Southern California. I have other nice lots listed now, too, from other places. Four are marked with the word "Sterling" . Please look at the photos and read the description carefully. Left to right, first photo, bottom row: 1. 5-1/8" Has a scene of the "Monte Carlo Tijuana, Mexico." on the pierced handle. Tijuana is the popular town just south of the border near San Diego The back of the handle is marked "Sterling" with a pre-1926 Robbins hallmark . Has a little light scratching and a bit of tiny spotting, otherwise fine. 2. 5-3/8" Antique. Spoon is the "Rustic" pattern, introduced by Towle in 1895. The bowl is etched with "San Diego, Cal." Marked "Sterling" with the Towle hallmark. Very good condition with a little light scratching, not much. 3. 3-1/4" long, Pierced handle has the goddess Minerva from the State Seal and the State Bear at her feet. Handle says "California". Marked "Sterling" with the crown-W-lion hallmark for Watson. Very good condition with a tiny bit of light scratching and a tiny wave in the handle. 4. 4-1/4", Pierced handle has an airplane and the words, "Los Angeles International Airport". Newer looking. Marked "Sterling", very good condition. 5. 5-3/4" antique silverplated spoon with a handle covered with sites from Los Angeles, many no longer t Probably from about 1915. Has the San Gabriel Mission, the long-gone City Hall and County Court House, the Woman's Club House, Palm Drive and Angel's Flight. Unmarked. Good condition with a little light wear to the finish. No monograms or other engraving than that noted. The sterling spoons weigh a total of about 43.5 grams or 1.53 ounces on my digital point scale, so I am starting these at WAY below scrap value.
