Description: The shipping costs for the 50 states and Puerto Rico are included in the listed price of this item. For any other destination, please email for a shipping quote BEFORE bidding. I ship only by USPS Priority Mail & Express Mail, no exceptions. I NEVER ship silver in envelopes. I neither solicit nor accept offers. Listed items will not be marked down during the listing duration. Here is the 1901 pattern Avon, which was made for about 15 years. Avon was a fairly popular pattern, sold widely both through stores and mail order. It remains a highly collectible pattern, stands up well to use, and has a look of lush tailoring. This type of spoon has at least three names. Old catalogs usually refer to it as the 'place' spoon, or the 'dessert' spoon. In ordinary usage it is called the 'oval' soup spoon, which distinguishes it from the round soup spoon. Anyway, whatever they are called, these are extremely handy items, not only for serving stew type soups, but they can be partnered with a fork to become a pasta eater. When serving a buffet, the spoon makes an excellent small tablespoon, ideal for serving things people don't eat much of. The 5 oval soup dessert place spoons offered here measure about 7 1/4”. These are not pieces of new silver. They show the patina of as much as 120 years of careful use. There are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. There is no monogram. Silver is softly lustrous. There is no silver loss. The pattern is crisp and clear. These spoons have been carefully used and well cared for. These spoons come in a flannel wrapper which helps prevent tarnish. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding.

I insure ALL shipping, as I sell old and scarce items that cannot be easily replaced. Domestic shipping charge for 1 pound or under is now $8.63 which is Priority Mail. International shipping charges vary widely, and I now must use only International Priority shipping, in order to be able to insure the package, purchase a tracking number and proof of delivery, all of which protect both buyer and seller. I now print shipping labels online to keep shipping costs down as much as possible, so I can ship only to the buyer’s confirmed address. I regret that I can no longer ship gifts directly to the recipient. Payment in US funds only, and I can accept only eBay’s payment system. I must receive payment in full within 7 days after the end of auction or a store purchase . Due to misuse of a former return policy, I will no longer accept returns. I will of course take responsibility for items that arrive damaged or if there is a serious error in the listing. See item description for payment & shipping methods.
