RANDOM 341 OBJECT
Old KIRK Sterling REPOUSSE, Barbed FORK & BON BON Spoon-$62
First off; the answer is “Yes!” Both pieces are in “Gift-Giving” condition, and neither is monogrammed. All they need is a gentle bath and a very light polish.
TOTAL WEIGHT = 1.97 Troy Ounces (61.3 grams)
The bon bon spoon has a deeply chased 2+” bowl with a total length of 5 1/8”.
The barbed whatchamacallit fork is 6” long and has an inner barb on the two outside tines. It has a specialize use, but it has eluded me. I’d say it’s for stabbing and retrieving something; possibly something that was a living creature at one time. Then again, it could be something as mudane as a pickle or an olive.
There’s that danged fork. By the way, neither piece is scratched up – just light, easily polished away, drawer scratches. You’ll be thrilled with the condition.

4 Antique ORIG PHOTOS of Henry FARNY Paintings, INDIANS-$203
I rescued these four old photographs from where they had been in storage for many years. This is likely why they have remained in such fine condition. The images have remained is excellent, crisp and bright condition, while boards upon which they are mounted are age tones. Matting and framing is all you’ll want to do.
I have a feeling these are quite special. As a matter of fact, one may be a photo of an actual scene rather than a photo of a painting. Let’s take a close look.
