See more about 'Set of 18th Century Sterling Silver Table Spoons C.1750' Description A set of six tablespoons with well worn London hallmarks. I cannot make out much but the position of the marks indicates pre 1780, the shape of the bowls fairly early type, and what I can make out of the shape of the date letter stamp outline looks like a type only used between 1741 and 1755. This is not a certain date though, my best estimate is around 1750, give or take a bit. They are just over 8 inches long and all bear the same armorial design of a rearing bulll head and torso . There is slight wear to the bowl tips but they are not bad enough for this to be noticeable in use. Total weight for the 6 is 336 grams, about 11 ounces. Please see Lower Down The Page for Shipping Costs to Everywhere (Marquee is naff, I know, but some folk do not seem able to find the shipping costs.) New customers are advised, indeed, pleaded with, to read all the other stuff on this page at least once so you know what to expect, as it is all useful and evolved from experience of tens of thousands of sales and thousands of questions asked. Nowadays I still get some goldfish asking the shipping to Rabbit Notch, Georga despite all attempts to point people to the listed tariff. Always inform yourself of postal/shipping charges before bidding, mine are as cheap as they get but some folk will sting you.

A note about communication. I think the ebay "My Mesages" thing, (indeed, all the post sale frills that they keep on inventing, especially the 'Please send a total' button) is an unwanted complication, and I always answer questions, etc., by direct e-mail to your address,and you can send a Direct e-mail to ME by clicking this link. If you do not get a reply from me you should check your spam filter, most save suspected spam in a special folder called 'Trash' or 'Junk', and no-one yet has made a spamfilter that can be trusted enough to allow you to trust it completely. Check that spam folder first. Some earthlink customers have a filter that requires one to fill in a form to be allowed to contact the user. If you have this, please do not win, as it infuriates me.:-) It is courteous to reply to all e-mail received, just an OK will do , so I know you have had the message. Normally e-mail will be answered within a few hours,(time differences and sleep permitting) and all e-mail is answered. Just not through ebay, so if you tick the box that says 'Hide my e-mail address', you will not get a reply. Ebay e-mails are a tiny kernel of meaning in a vast pulp of warnings and irrelevant messages Please check my list of current sales for similar items Here Some helpful information for international buyers and bidders may be found linked to my 'About Me ' page. and also from there, you can find a link to terms of sale, how a sale proceeds after the hammer comes down, where to find rare books, and general news about my ebay sales. Ebay policy is to keep outside links of the sale page, So Just click ..HERE.. to find the links. May you all get what you want for less than you wanted to pay, and my thanks go to all the bidders who do not hold the winning bid.   Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
