ondition:
This teaspoon is in very good condition for its age.  It could benefit from some polishing.  I have not attempted to polish this or clean it other than by going over it with a damp cloth.   It does show minor microscopic scratching consistent with use and being stored loosely in with a group of other pieces of silverware.   There is an area on the back of the spoon where there is a piece of scotch tape from an old price tag that I was unable to get off.  There are also some areas on the back of the spoon bowl where the silver plating has totally worn down to show the underlying metal.  You can see those in the lower part of photo 10 below and to the left of the scotch tape which has photographed well.  The worn area shows up as darker than the rest of the spoon but it is very subtle.   I will try to take a better photo and add it ASAP if I can.
Be sure and check the photos as they are an integral part of the description and do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word.   Use the magnification tool and feel free to ask questions.

Disclaimer:
Photographs with a ruler or the metal tape measures are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact
measurements
due to
the fact that the measurements on a wooden ruler start 1/16" into the wood, and
the ruler,
and also the item being different
lengths
away
from the camera lens than the ruler or tape measure,
even if it is only a fraction of an inch will also create a perspective issue.  Please always go by my stated measurements rather
than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos.
Note:
Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because of people's perceptions of color descriptions,  the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter, or a shade or two different.  I always do
my best to show colors as close to reality as I can get them, but keep that in mind when you make your orders as, although I will accept returns for any reason, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a valid rea
son for a 'not as described' claim so that you can save on shipping.  Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red when you get it, then
obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as described' claim will be accepted
If you need to have a perfect match and can send a fabric swatch or paint chip, or something else that you have that shows the exact color that you need, I
will be happy to hold the item you are thinking of purchasing so that you can send me your swatch or whatever for me to use to check for that match.  I can photograph
the item next to the color sample that you send and you can make your final decision as to whether you want to purchase from that.
Shipping:
I purchase postage online when I package the item.  The tracking number shows when that postage was purchased and does not start when I actually take the item to the post office to be shipped.  Note, I show a 4 business day handling period and although I may get your item packaged and ready to ship on the first or second day, It may take all of those four days for me to get your item to the post office to actually ship it.  Please don't be concerned if you check your tracking number and find out that the item has not yet been shipped if it is within my four-day shipping window.   If you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, just let me know and I will be happy to do my best for you.
