Length: 4 5/8" (12 cm)

CONDITION: Good condition with wear and old patina

PROVENANCE: Private collector.

NOTES / REFERENCES: Often called marrow scoops, these little bone spoons were actually multi purpose ... used for extracting bone marrow, measuring snuff, medicinal ingredients or even just coring fruit.
