Interesting spoon from Mexico featuring a 1932 one peso silver coin bowl with a cast finial
This is a cute spoon showing a prickly pear cactus handle with an 1881 Mexican 50 centavo silver coin bowl
It was manufactured by Shreve & Co of San Franciso and the back of the handle is engraved "July 24, 1904"
Unfortunately an old coin was used for the bowl and the back is severely worn.
