This darling baby spoon features the bright-eyed and laughing Gerber baby head at the top, two flowers below it, and a roundish bowl. The back is marked "Gerber's" and stamped Winthrop silver plate. The patina of the bowl looks old; there are tiny scratches on it that suggest the metal is somewhat soft--soft enough for babies' teeth to mark it with use? I am not a silver expert, but this patina is unlike any I've seen on other silver plate flatware, and I can't account for it. It does not look like the finish is worn off, nor does it look like it was scoured with steel wool. In any case, it is interesting and rather adds to the charm. There are some dark round spots that can proabably come off with cleaning.
