Has minor use marks and slight tarnish as would be expected. Origin: U.S.A Mark: Sterling Michie. Additional Information: We have done extensive research on this set of spoons. It was extremely hard to identify however our research revealed the following. This set was most like designed and given as a stand alone gift set. The pattern is that of J. S. & Co. and is simply called pattern number 5 showing a very detailed floral and geometric design. The J S & Co stands for Joseph Seymour & Company. This pattern was made in 1885. The spoons are marked Sterling and Michie. There are no other hallmarks. Michie was actually Michie Bros from Cincinnati, Ohio. They were jewelers in the late 1800s. We would assume that Michie was who engraved the monogram which appears to be an Old English F. This is an extremely hard pattern to find and would make a nice gift or addition to any pieces you may already have in this pattern. It is rare enough that Replacements Limited does not show any pieces on hand at all. We believe these are considered "Coffee" spoons as they measure 5 3/4" long by 1 1/4" wide at the bowl. This boxed set of Sterling Silver spoons is beautiful and will make a wonderful gift in the leather covered gift box.
