About the Item

Fine and rare antique American hand engraved coin silver presentation birth spoon, fiddle pattern, with maker's marks by silversmith: Eleazer Wyer, Jr. (Portland, ME). Maker's Marks: Eleazer Wyer, Jr. (Portland, ME), working 1806-1813 Approx. 2.5 troy ounces Rare Maine silversmith and even more rare Presentation "Birth Spoon" in the "Fiddle" pattern given by the young boy's aunt. Inscription on obverse of spoon's handle " J Y Maxwell  Born July 24th, 1813 " and on reverse of spoon's handle  "Presented By His Aunt Young." These presentation Birth Spoons are very rare and this one in particular has a great "provenance" because the birth date is 1813 and the last year the silversmith is known to have worked is 1813. Lovely original condition.
