His likeness, the dates of his life, a lyre, and a banner with the names of two of his works are on the handle. The stanza goes...."On yonder height there sits a maiden wondrous fair, Her golden jewels sparkle; She combs her golden hair; With comb of gold she combs it  And sings, so plaintively,  A strain of wondrous beauty, A potent melody." According to legend her song caused many shipwrecks as the captains were mesmerized by her singing. Sterling, 4 3/8", made by Mauser, excellent condition. Sold for $21.

jacksonvilleorangesm.jpg (19604 bytes) #81. Jacksonville Orange. A figural Florida spoon. The handle is an orange blossom and the bowl is shaped and textured like an orange on both sides. I especially like the stem area on the bowl reverse. "Jacksonville" is engraved in the bowl. A really nice design. Sterling, 4 1/8", made by Watson, excellent condition.
Sold for $36 (tie).
neversinksm.jpg (25051 bytes) #82. Reading PA Neversink Hotel.  This Reading Pennsylvania spoon features the Neversink Mountain Hotel in the bowl. It was one of 5 hotels on the mountain and was the largest at 350 feet long, 3 stories high and 350 rooms. In the 1890's this was a popular resort area. I believe the handle features the Klapperthal Pavilion, an entertainment pavilion also on the mountain. All the hotels on this mountain are now gone. Sterling, 4 1/4", no makers mark, plain reverse, excellent condition.

British sterling marks, 4 3/8", very good condition.
