This antique 6” silverplate spoon is stamped  “R&B A1”.  The R&B stands for Reed and Barton.  The A1 stands for the number of ounces of silver used in the plating process.  This spoon is in the 1916 Jewell pattern, designer Frederick Pretat.

This piece is obviously old and worn, but I understand that collectors have their personal ways of cleaning and how they want the piece to look.  Therefore, I did not clean or polish it. 

This piece came from a deceased relative’s collection.
