It is tarnished and bent but it does say Sterling USA on the back.




Unfortunately, it is not very big...






I think a dime is heavier than this thing...

Hey, silver is silver. It all adds up. Cool find BTW. Where did you run across that?

Are you throwing that out?

Maybe you should investigate antique value; might buy several ounces...

It was in the box of "stuff" that had the penny folders and Japanese items I posted about several weeks ago.

Finally going through that gallon freezer bag full of small items.

It is a spoon, but made into a pin? Now that is odd...

Bluegill- what you have is a salt spoon from about 1900. It is in a pattern I believe called.... I cannot remember, but it is a better pattern and sought after. This was made into a piece of jewelry around 1910-1920 when doing this was very popular. Unfortunately turning it into a pin was a bad thing for this little spoon. If not turned into jewelry, this would have been worth about $40.00, as a piece of antique jewelry, it is worth about $15-$20 tops.
