A coin silver toddy ladle with
baleen (whalebone) silver tipped handle. The toddy ladle is mostly an 18th
century form, carrying into the first decade of the 19th cent. This example
is about seven inches long and one of the smallest examples of an already
scarce form that I have seen. The M&F mark is a very scarce one for this
early partnership of Charles Moore and John Ferguson. Condition of this
piece is unusually nice. Period monogram on bottom of bowl is "A S".
