Description
This spoon was included in an assortment of other silverware I purchased at an estate sale. It is a scalloped sugar spoon with Vassar Female College imprinted on the handle and silversmith marks on the back that are almost illegible. It does appear the silversmith marks include a 7, a circled star and a 3. My understanding is that these spoons were recalled and destroyed in 1867 when Vassar dropped the word "female" from it's name.
