<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 10224829, member: 10944&quot;]Thanks! That’s fantastic. I did see examples with cut off handles like you said. Then also saw some like mine that were cut out. Very cool that it will appeal to more than one group of collectors. I got it after the closing of a three day sale with another nice spoon. $7 for the two. The other is very salable as a spoon as well, plus they would melt out at 2X or 3x what I paid. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why is this Dirksen output so collectible? Just superior quality? I don’t think American when I see filigree. Is their work desirable partly because filigree wasn’t as common in the U.S.?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
