THIS SPOON WOULD BE WORTH CONSIDERABLY MORE IF THE SCENE IN THE BOWL WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. Here is a beautiful sterling silver spoon from Avalon Catalina Island California dating back to years around 1900 featuring on the handle stunning enamel flower floral design. In the bowl it has polychrome painted picture of sea bay and mountains scenery at city of Avalon with buildings, pier, ship and boats, the engraved wording is AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND, CAL. It measures 5-3/4 inch long (145 mm) and in excellent condition except the scene in the bowl is not.
