Seller's Description
Lot of six (6) Duhme & Co. of Cincinnati silver twisted stem teaspoons with detailed and engraved fiddleback stem handles
Please read our details carefully. This listing is for a set of four (4) matching teaspoons, plus two single, slightly different teaspoons from the same silversmith
Set of four (4) Tea Spoons with a 1.75 inch long bowl, about 1.25 inches wide. This could be used with our other similar sets available in separate auctions. Please see our other auctions for more information on other pieces.
About 5.75 inches long from point of spoon to end of handle. Twisted section on handle is a bit more than one inch in length and sits between the bowl of the spoon and the detailed fiddleback shaped handle. The handle is about 2.25 inches long and about .75 inches wide at the widest point. The back side of the handle is hallmarked STERLING 925/1000 DUHME at the top of the handle. One of the spoon is dented in the bottom of the bowl.
Fine detail work with multiple cut engraving techniques graces the entire stem, both front and back. There is also an engraved detail just below the base of the spoon where it meets the twisted stem. There is a monogram on the stem we can't make out, looks like two very intricate intertwined letters.
One (1) single engraved sterling Duhme & Co. teaspoon. Similar in measurements and design to the set above. Has more cut engraving (zig zag or rick rack design) just below the bowl and the details of the engraving on the handle appear to be slightly larger.
The second one (1) single engraved sterling Duhme & Co. teaspoon. Similar in measurements and design to the set above. The hallmark on the back of this spoon is simply Duhme & Co. The handle is slightly longer and wider than the set above. While this item is not marked sterling, we believe it to be either sterling or coin silver.
These spoons and the set of C. Hellebush twisted stem teaspoons we have available in a separate auction are very similar in design and were used together.
Duhme & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio (please see our other auctions for work by other Cincinnati silversmiths.) both retailed and manufactured silver. They were particularly known for their twisted handled flatware, a style also made and sold by other Cincinnati silversmiths and jewelers.
Wear commensurate with use, mostly light scratches. These items have received a preliminary polish and did shine up quite brightly, and could be polished up even brighter.
This item came to us from an estate where it had been stored for years. This service was used only at Passover by the family and was handed down for at least three generations.
Circa 1850s to 1880s.

Please check your ebid Messages and your email or shipment of your item may be delayed. It is possible that your purchase may be cancelled if we don’t hear back from you.
BUYERS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES - PLEASE NOTE:
Receipt of your item may be delayed if it has to go through custom inspection in your country. Occasionally, this adds days or weeks to delivery.
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.
Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.
During peak shipping times, it may take weeks to have your item clear customs. We’ve had some items arrive in Europe in a week, but a package to South America once took six weeks to arrive! Again, you’ll have to check with the customs office in your country if your item hasn’t been received.
Restrictions in your country may not allow us to ship certain items.
Many countries do not allow shipments of coins or precious metals, for example. Some media, including computer software, music CDs or DVDs may be restricted for sale outside the United States.
VHS and DVDs are formatted differently for different countries.
If you are purchasing a VHS videotape, please note the format your machine requires before you make your purchase. Most of our tapes are NTSC format (it is specified in the listing what the format is) which will not work in most video players in Europe and Australia. We routinely contact anyone overseas who purchases a VHS video to ask them to check if their machine can play an NTSC tape before we ship.
Many DVDs also have a specific format by country. If you are purchasing a DVD, please make sure the DVD is a format that will play in your machine.
NO RETURN, NO CANCELLATION POLICY:
We no longer accept returns or cancellations due a history of fraudulent claims.

Civil and criminal penalties apply to the theft of copyrighted material.
If you see our photographs or text elsewhere on eBid or online, please let us know.
We’ve found our “stolen” photographs and text on other e-commerce websites many times. In order to help reduce fraud and image theft, you’ll notice that most of our photographs have our logo or other label appearing on each image which obscures a small part of the item.
It is possible that anyone who uses stolen images or text may not even have the item they are trying to sell and that their intention is to defraud you. We don’t want anyone to use our images or text to try and sell you something they don’t have.
Please be savvy and safe while shopping online. Your local public library should be able to help you find great resources to protect yourself and your family while shopping online.
Thank you for reading this. You are the kind of educated consumer with whom we want to do business and whom we aim very hard to please.
