Lot of 4: 1 &2) Two spoons, 4.25" long, engraved "GOLDFIELD NEV." on the bowls. The handles bear an ornate gold pan "NEVADA", shovel, axe, and bucket below a pack mule. The pan contains small gold nugget details. The floral design handle is wrapped in fine wire on each. Reverse stamped STERLING. 3) A 3.75" spoon, shaped like a shovel, engraved "GOLDFIELD/ NEV." and featuring a pan, shovel, axe, and bucket design on the handle end. The length of the handle is wrapped in fine wire. Reverse stamped STERLING. 4) A 5.5" long spoon engraved "GOLDFIELD" in the bowl, features an ornately decorated handle. The reverse is marked "STERLING/ PAT 1902". Given the style of the spoon and the patent date, the simple engraving on the bowl was likely added after 1902, past the original fall of the town, as a souvenir for tourists. - Jacobitz Collection -60363
