Manchester Silver, Gadroonette Pattern, STERLING SILVER, 2 Gumbo Soup Spoons

Welcome to ROBINS NEST MIDWEST!

One of my consignors takes in a lot of silver flatware and hollow ware as part trade for sale of their jewelry. Some of the pieces are wonderful and I want to save as many as I can from being scrapped so I will be offering as many silver items I can.

Up for offer now…

AGE: C.1938

ITEM: From Manchester SIlver in the Gadroonette pattern, here's a pair of gumbo soup spoons (slightly larger bowls). No monogram in the large oval at the top.

CONDITION: Being vintage, there are light marks of use, storage and time - one small bit of tarnish at the back of one spoon I didn't quite get off. The patina is wonderfully warm and I try to only lightly polish for photos. There are no major defects like dings, dents or ugly blemishes that might spoil the beauty of the silver.

METAL CONTENT: Sterling Silver

HALLMARKS: Manchester Silver hallmark, STERLING

SIZE: Length of each spoon is 6-3/4"; width at the bowl is 1-3/4".

WEIGHT: 88 Grams the pair.

RETAIL TODAY: The replacement company has it out of stock but their similar spoon is $109 each; the auction site wants $69 each. I think I can do better.

Anyone want?

FINAL COMMENTS: When I can, I will beat anyone’s price on RL. I want to turn over the silver inventory quickly so I can keep loading in more. St. Louis was a boom city in the 1800s and the silver inventory here is legendary. For those who know, the 1904 World’s Fair held one of the largest competitions in silver design – all the big maker names of the day competed and a lot of the winning pieces stayed in St. Louis after the Fair ended. So keep watching my listings, I never know what I am going to have week to week – all I know is it will be varied, fabulous and deserving of a good home.
