Vintage Sterling Mount Vernon teaspoon, Martha & George Pat. Mch. 31. 91. More & Leading back stamp. 6" long. 1.045 troy ounces. This is a stunning spoon with awesome detail throughout. From the tip of the handle it starts with a beautiful winged swan over a Stars and stripes shield then having the portraits of Martha and George Washington followed by a cartouche reading 1759 - 1799 all which is also boarded with acanthus leaf. It then reads Mount Vernon going down the handle followed by a fluted shell type design with more Kansas leaf bordering and then a star with starburst in the background. The cup portion of the spoon has a wonderful three-dimensional depiction of the Mount Vernon home and trees. It doesn't stop there either, even the back side of the spoon has beautiful design starting with the other side of the winged swan and other details. The center of the back does have a very fancy monogram in which it's letter or the letter and I cannot make out what the letters are.

Attn: Although I have quickly cleaned most of the Sterling & Silver plate items for a decent photo, some pieces may end up with some fingerprints and other tarnish by the time they may be shipped. This will really depend on how many times these pieces may be handled before the sale during any preview. Please understand that some cleaning may needed after shipment.

Please note: my opinion to condition may vary from yours and I do my best to note any issues. Please make sure to view all photos to make your own judgment to condition.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have or request any particular photos.
All lots within this sale all start at $25 or under with approximately 98% at no reserves. I do not usually list smalls like these items because of the time to do so. I just happened to be the nice guy and went above and beyond to help a few locals with their estate items because they did not know where to go to move an entire estate of stuff. This sale is 98% easily shippable items with baseball cards, some toys, gold to sterling jewelry, sterling and silver plate flatware and other useful items, some nick knacks, primitive items and few tools. I am hoping that someone may have use for all these items which I have listed because it is a lot of work to put an auction together in this format. Plus, I believe I have listed most at great starting prices.
Please make sure to view all the other items and check back when the sale gets closer to going live because I am known to lower prices the last week of preview.

I have been told by liveauctioneers that in order to have my auction show up on the 1st pages of local auctions that the auction needs to have a lot of interest and or a lot of bids. Please help by sharing my auction with friends and family.
Thank you for viewing and hope to have you as a new member of the Courtney Auctions family. Sincerely, Thomas P. Courtney.

Very good condition and the only thing I could say is it could possibly use a better cleaning.
