[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9586538, member: 649"]Thanks everyone, my eyes just weren't seeing what was there! :rolleyes: I've bought the spoon as it was very reasonably priced, the seller's blurry photos are below. It's silver: Birmingham 1896, and made (I presume) to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897. Something to add to my small QV collection! Oddly, it doesn't actually mention or depict her, it just has a "60" under the crown. Size is 5 3/8 inches and it has what appears to be a rather sizeable bowl, so it's not a tiny souvenir spoon. Tea caddy spoon? I don't know the weight. Made by Cornelius Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings (Frank) Shepherd (thank you [USER=66620]@silvermakersmarks[/USER] for your wonderfully helpful [URL='https://silvermakersmarks.co.uk/index.htm']website[/URL]!)
