From a Connecticut Estate Auction comes this
Rare Decorative c1840 N. HARDING 20gr BOSTON COIN SILVER TEASPOON.
The vast majority of all coin silver spoons were always very plain and this one is interesting because Harding made it with a decorative handle. Measuring about 5 3/4” long, this weighs approximately .8 ounces (20 grams) and is in excellent antique condition with the handle monogrammed with what I believe is MRH.
Any dark areas or color you may see in the photos are just reflections off the shiny surface. All of my silver has been lightly polished for its photo shoot but can always benefit from additional polishing. I've recently purchased quite a bit of Harding coin silver including some special flatware pieces, forks, lots of spoons, etc. Please watch my listings both for those and what I hope is an interesting and eclectic selection of other vintage and antique items.
