OFFERING a STERLING SILVER SOUVENIR SPOON FOR
"BARBADOS"

SEE VIEWS ABOVE

BARBADOS IS AN INDEPENDENT BRITISH COMMONWEALTH
NATION IN THE CARIBBEAN

THIS IS MARKED WITH THE WORD "STERLING"
PLUS
A LION PASSANT
(meaning sterling)
A CROWN
(meaning Sheffield)
and a
"C" with a "3" at the center

I THINK THE "C" MEANS 1938, BUT i DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE "3" STANDS FOR
ON THE BACK

THE BOWL IS NOT ENGRAVED 

ON THE FRONT, STARTING AT THE TOP, YOU HAVE
The Coat of Arms for Barbados
Hastings Rocks
The Nelson Monument
and
"BARBADOS"
heading down toward the bowl

ON THE BACK, STARTING AT THE TOP, YOU HAVE
The Marine Hotel
A Flying Fish
and A Marine Egg

AND THEN
THE HALLMARKS ON THE LOWER BACK

GUESS ON AGE 1938
 (this is just a guess - I would think this was earlier
from the extreme detail on the decoration both front
and back)

SIZE 4 11/16" LONG x 7/8" WIDE
(at the widest part of the bowl)
 
WEIGHS 16.9 GRAMS

A LOVELY LITTLE SPOON

I COLLECTED THESE LITTLE SPOONS FOR OVER 40 YEARS

HATE TO PART WITH THEM BUT...

THEY HAVE BEEN IN A SILVER CHEST FOR ABOUT
20 YEARS (unopened)

MANY MORE TO BE LISTED!

BID NOW!
