Transcription: [double-headed eagle] RUSSIAN IMPERIAL EXHIBIT January 27, 1933 Article No. 4809

Set of twelve Fruit Spoons of gold on silver, beautifully designed, with an urn and shield engraved with the Imperial Crown. On the reverse side are the various silver marks, - "84" denoting sterling quality in Russia, - the initials "MF" for the maker, the date 1850, and the Imperial Russian Double-headed Eagle. An interesting feature of these spoons is the manner in which the crown is engraved, being cut through the gold surface to show the silver beneath. From the Anitchkov Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. Mrs. John L. Pratt Chatham Fredericksburg Virginia

From the Hammer Collection – Three East Fifty-second Street, New York, N. Y.
