We are happy to present for your consideration an antique sterling silver slotted spoon by the Knowles Mount Vernon, Berry & Co. Sterling Silver, created in the classic "Apollo" pattern. The J.B & S.M. Knowles Silver Co. introduced this lovely pattern in 1892, therefore we surmise this lovely item to have been created between 1892 and 1903. Gorham eventually purchased the company, making this particular item with its original mark, of significant value.
Please note the clarity of the Knowles silver mark: a "lion, moon and K" along with "STERLING PAT" and "26 PAT".
The "Apollo" pattern is in excellent condition, defining well the scrolls, floral elements, and exceptional design. There are lovely "waves" and scrolls worked into the shape of the barrel of the spoon. This is a truly exceptional item.
Length (tip to end) is approximately 7 7/8". Spoon weight is approximately 2 ounces.
Width is approximately 2 1/4" at the scoop of the spoon, the widest point of the handle is approximately 7/8" wide.
We carefully package all our items and ship USPS Priority mail.
Thank you for your consideration.
