    Up for grabs, a beat up coin silver tea spoon with mark for Benjamin & (his son ) Moses Moody Swan of Augusta, Maine (1840-1865). Measures 5-3/4" long, very tarnished, dings and bends. Free U.S./Canada shipping. If needed I'll spin the wheel Sunday evening.

    Hi,
    I'm also. Beat up spoons make my heart beat faster. Mint condition ones stop my heart.

    Thank you so much! Received it a couple of days ago, but things were hectic and I wanted to work out some dings and polish it before posting (please excuse the crummy cell phone pic):

    Also received another 'swan' spoon for Mom's collection - by Canadian silversmith Bob Ford of PEI, one of the founders of the Ontario Metal Arts Guild in 1946:

    Both of the spoons look great! I didn't know that your mother collects swan spoons.

    Heh, swans in general, I usually refer to her house as 'swan hell' - she only has maybe a couple of dozen different swan spoons...
