| This is my great aunt's treasured spoon and she has asked me to help her remember the details about it. Thus, I am reaching out to all of you for help. Thank you in advance, Linda |

| A picture of the marking on the back would help a lot....and a reference to the size. Pretty spoon but without some markings, I don't know where to begin searching for the pattern. Linda C |

| IS there anything on the box? It looks like a gift box and may have some info about where it came from. I want one. Love the detailing around the bowl. (Blade? Is that for citrus fruit?) |

| Thank you for the responses. I will see her again later in the month and will look at the back and the box (it actually hangs on the wall). |

| If it's sterling it looks like Gorham's Raphael, c. 1874; probably a citrus/orange spoon but it could be a serving spoon depending on the size. |
|
| At Replacements.com they are calling this spoon a "Bright Cut Solid Pudding Spoon", by Gorham. |

| Well....it's old....rare....and after all...that is Replacements who charge top dollar. |

| But is it about 6" or about 10-12"? There's no way to tell from a photograph. Size DOES matter, LOL, when determining useage (& price)! |
|
| On the Replacements site they say it is 9" long. |
|
| The spoon on Replacements, priced at $250 is 9 inches long....but how long is the OP's spoon....that is the question. |
