Edwardian Silver Dog Show Prize Spoon, 1910
This is an interesting Edwardian Sterling Silver Prize Spoon from the Darlington Dog Show. Darlington, in County Durham, held its first Dog Show back in 1860 so this spoon from 1910 celebrated their 50th anniversary. The spoon has a broad teardrop shaped bowl with the arms of Darlington surrounded by a circular banner with the words Darlington Dog Show within it. The top of the stem has a shell decoration.
The spoon was made in Sheffield by well known silversmiths Atkin Brothers and dates to 1910. 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 extremely good, with no dings or dents and only the most minimal superficial surface wear that you would expect with the passage of time. This has clearly been kept as a treasured souvenir and not been used as a spoon. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The spoon is 12.2cm / 4.8ins long and weighs in at a respectable 24.1g / 0.85oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the Gothic date letter s for 1910 and the H A makers' mark for Harry Atkin of Atkin Brothers.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
