Sven Berg Colonial Williamsburg Brass Marrow and 50 similar items

This rare cast brass double sided marrow spoon was hand made at the Geddy Foundry in Colonial Williamsburg by master craftsman Sven Berg. Sven Berg was the master founder at the Geddy Foundry until he retired. This spoon is illustrated on page 11 of the Williamsburg book "the Geddy Foundry" by Sven Dan Berg. Hallmark signed on the back "berg" and "ig" (the geddy foundry's original owner James Geddy). From what I understand there weren't many of these made. Copied from an 18th century antique in the Williamsburg collection, the marrow spoon was used to remove marrow from the bones of the meat being served. One end of the spoon for larger bones, and the other end for smaller narrower bones. Marrow was considered a delicacy in colonial days. The spoon measures 8" long and is cast in one piece. Unused in pristine condition and accompanied by its original box, it serves as a refined addition to curated collections. ? Crafted from brass ? Colonial Williamsburg ?
