Antique Manchester Sterling Silver Baby Spoon – Leonore Pattern – Curved Handle

Celebrate the charm and craftsmanship of vintage sterling silver with this beautiful Manchester sterling silver baby spoon in the elegant Leonore pattern, introduced in 1939. Crafted with a graceful curved handle, this petite spoon is both a collectible keepsake and a functional piece of fine silver.

The handle is beautifully engraved with the name "Clyde" in elegant vintage script, adding a personal touch and a glimpse into its history. Marked Sterling with the Manchester maker's mark, this baby spoon has been freshly polished and shines beautifully.

The spoon is in good vintage condition with an area where the finish is flawed. This spot tends to develop a darker tarnish over time but polishes away, as shown in the photos. This cosmetic imperfection does not detract from the spoon's display or usability.
