SALE PRICES
APOSTLE SPOONS.
It is impossible to fix prices. In July 1903 a set of thirteen with hall-mark for 1536 realized £4,900.
Single specimens may roughly be valued as follows: Fifteenth century, anything from £50 to £300; sixteenth century, from £30 to £100; seventeenth century, £3 to £40. Six spoons (1631) brought £280 and a pair (1622) only £7. “Fakes” are abundant in this class.
SEAL-TOP SPOONS.
Prices range from £8 to £25 apiece.
CADDY-SPOONS.
These from middle of eighteenth century are a large class, which should appeal to the collector of limited means. But even in this modest field the faker has been busy.
