This delicate, Colonial American Silver Spoon measures 4.75" in length and is clearly marked on the back, "A.D" in an inset rectangle. Amos Doolittle was a silversmith active in New Haven, Connecticut in the late 1700s, but he is better known as an engraver, who produced some of the earliest prints of the Revolutionary War, based in some cases on his own experiences in the Connecticut Militia. This lovely little spoon from his workshop has the initials "M S" engraved at the end of the handle. A wonderful piece of Colonial Americana.
