Spoon (Teaspoon)
Paul Revere Jr.
1770-1960
Description
The spoon was possibly created between 1770-1800 in England or North America. In the 20th century the original maker's marks on the underside of the handle were erased and overstruck with a faked maker's mark for Paul Revere Jr. with the intent to deceive. It is one of a set of six spoons donated to Winterthur to be instructive for collectors and researchers.
