Description

This is a neat George V Sterling Silver Mustard Spoon in the traditional Old English pattern. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The mustard spoon was made in Sheffield by Atkin Brothers and dates to 1917. Tracing its roots back to Thomas Law in the mid-18th century, the Atkin family took sole control of the business in 1840, first as Henry Atkin & Co and then from 1853 as Atkin Brothers. The firm manufactured both silverware and electroplate in Sheffield and also had a London showroom. They ceased trading in 1958.

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents, no salt corrosion and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The mustard spoon is 6.2cm / 2.4ins long and weighs in at 5.2g / 0.18oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the date letter z for 1917 and the H A makers' mark for Harry Atkin of Atkin Brothers.
