Author	Topic: Old Silver teaspoon
slither@ unregistered	posted 01-07-2003 09:42 AM Hi, My name is Timothy Vorster, I am 11 years old and live in Muizenberg in Cape Town South Africa. I found an old small silver teaspoon at an old dump site. I have had a professional person restore it for me and now I am trying to find out its history. It is approximately 10.5cm in length and the scoop section is small but quite deep. It has a small pattern on the handle at the top pointed end. Its registration number is: Rd No 551223. If you could let me know where I can find more information I will be most grateful.I am trying to to establish the origin and date of manufacture. Any details regarding how I can find this will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you Kind regards Timothy Vorster Cape Town South Africa IP: Logged
