On Offer: A stunning pair of service spoons from Reed & Barton in their much sought after “FRANCIS I” pattern. Presidents have chosen this pattern for their official state dinner services. These spoons are in excellent condition. There are no deep scratches, dents or any other damage I can see. The spoon bowls have some light scratches consistent with their age. The spoons have no monogram or evidence of removal. The spoons are 8 3/8 in length. The handles are larger than the cold meat fork in my possession. The handles are, in fact, the same size as some of the more important serving spoons in the pattern. The pair have a combined weight of 174 grams. These would be a lovely addition to your silver table service. Feel free to ask any questions or for more photos.

The pieces are not monogrammed and are in excellent condition. What is a “Custom Made” piece? Custom made pieces are made from an original piece in your pattern that are not otherwise available or difficult to find on the market, especially in discontinued patterns. Hollow handle items are made from an original handle in your pattern with a new stainless or silverplated implement. Then the piece is hand-finished by a highly skilled silversmith in the USA. Now that many sterling patterns have been discontinued, custom pieces have become a staple in the sterling silver industry and are widely offered by mainstream sterling flatware dealers. Why isn’t a Hollow Handle piece marked/stamped in any way? Yes, the hollow handle is sterling and a genuine handle in your pattern, even though it is not usually stamped. Hollow handle items were usually not stamped due to their hollow construction. Family Owned & Operated. Customer service is the foundation of all that we do.
