Rare Antique Victorian English Silver Spoon Warmer Nr Picture(s) and Description:
Antique Victorian Sheffield English Silver Spoon Warmer Offered for auction with No Reserve is a wonderful vintage / antique Victorian English silver spoon warmer. This one is silver plated and in very good condition. Surface is very nice with some light tarnish and the only issue is the missing chain but this should be an easy fix from a jeweler. This is a nice heavy piece in the shape of a buoy sitting on rock piling with a sea shell at the base. It weighs 1 pound and 8 ounces. The base measures approx 6" by 4" and it is about 6" high at the opening. From tip to tip at an angle it is about 8" and there are holes in the balls on the ends where the chain and wire loop would go. If you do a google search for spoon warmer you will see how the chain goes on this and may enjoy reading some fun and interesting history.
please click the image bellow.
This is marked in two places as shown. I have included many photos of this rare and unusual piece. There are no dents, no pitting or plate loss, just a few scratches and some light tarnish. The hallmark is seen on bottom for Aktin Brothers of Sheffield England, UK and was used from 1853 - 1958 and there is another on the side that looks like an early registry mark. These would have been filled with boiling water and are often a nautilus shell. You don't see too many of them and it would make a wonderful gift for a collector. I will ship Free in the USA and insurance is required and costs extra.
