4 antique solid gilt sterling silver apostle spoons.

The spoons are solid silver with gilt detailing and have little Apostle figurines at the ends of the handles.
The spoons are hallmarked for London 1902 with maker's mark RS....Robert Stebbings.

The spoons come in their original red leather covered case which is named A.E. Halfhide on the inner lid, retailers in London.

In collectable condition with normal signs of age and use wear. No damage to the silverware from what I can see. There are some surface scuffs and the gilding is slightly worn in places. The box does have some signs of damp conditions damage, mostly on the base and localised to one of the outer corners. There are also some surface scuffs and stains.

The box has kept the spoons in SUPERB condition.

Please see pictures for more details and visual confirmation of condition.

The spoons each measure approx. 7 and 3/4 inches long x 2 and 1/8 inches wide. The spoons weigh approx. 54-61 grams each.
The case measures approx. 10 inches x 8 inches x 1 and 1/2 inches.

Postage / shipping - if you have bought a number of items, please wait for my combined shipping invoice before you pay to save us both money. Payment within 3 days please as non payer alerts are automated after 6 days.

Shipping to European countries: I have taken the decision to KNOCK ALL SALES TO EUROPE ON THE HEAD from today 12/11/21 due to me getting increasing numbers of items being stuck in CUSTOMS for weeks and months at the various countries namely Italy - France - Spain - Germany - Netherlands. Since the UK left the EU some countries have penalised their people by adding the customs duty ( IOSS and tariff codes ) and by holding onto packages for up to 6 months ( Italian buyer also telling me he paid customs when buying and his postal service wanted the same amount again before the item is delivered.. this is WRONG ! ) all this having a knock-on effect on me as the sender. I have got more "WHERE IS MY ITEM" disputes recently and the amount of items that eventually turn up is shocking. All this is out of my control so I will NOT be selling to buyers in certain EU countries, to save myself and buyers headaches and money in the long run.

If you have any questions, please contact me via eBay messages.

I do accept returns which is 14 days on the antiques and second hand items I sell - NOT 30 days

Don't forget I offer COMBINED SHIPPING if you WAIT for my invoice before you automatically pay after buying items.
