It is never too early to prepare your holiday table. This is a beautiful antique serving spoon made from Sterling Silver and Wood. The end of the handle is sterling silver. Marked S. Kirk Son and 925. The 925 mark is below the maker mark so it is hard to see on the photo, but it is there. It is in the "King" or "Kirk King" Pattern. Does have an ornate cursive monogram appears to be JLWT. Great serving spoon for your table. This piece is likely between 1896-1924 based on the hallmark, and that is over a 100 years old from late Victorian to Edwardian era.
