<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1218254, member: 111&quot;]Thanks for the positive comments!&nbsp; Wasn&#039;t looking for it, turned up in one of those daily sales-pitch emails from eBay, made the seller an offer and she kindly accepted (and the postage can be a killer, remember it was freaky high when I was selling too).&nbsp; I also thought the lettering was wonderful (don&#039;t even mind the couple of tiny chips in the enamel), but the bowl looks to be in beautiful condition.&nbsp; Now the long wait for its arrival...</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago, when there was still interaction between eBay members, I bought Mom a lot from Oz for a 1913 spoon with the coat of arms, which includes the black swan, and an Aussie gentleman who was collecting and researching their spoons contacted me asking if he could buy the spoon if it was only gotten as part of the lot.&nbsp; He was very nice, and understood that it was for her collection, and later gave me a heads-up on an auction for a nice pair of figural swan napkin rings that I won - he said quality sterling Australian souvenir spoons from this era aren&#039;t particularly common, and are usually of British manufacture.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
