    A
    Worlds Fair Chicago, “1492  1892”  and “sterling”
    Note significant denting.   Approx. 25.6 grams.   This spoon is from the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair.  I've seen a number of Chicago Worlds Fair spoon auctions on ebay but didn't see any for this particular spoon.  Lots on ebay show the Columbus design for this Fair.

    Current (aug 5, 2021) price of silver is {{detail_product_description}}.82/gram and sterling is about 92% pure silver.  So, rough melt value of the spoons is as follows:
    Spoons together are approx. 112 total grams of sterling = approx. 103 grams pure silver, and based on {{detail_product_description}}.82/gram is about in meltdown value (not guaranteed).  See one of the photos which shows my calculations to arrive at this estimated melt value.
