| Description: | The 1859 Comstock Lode discovery provided a large silver supply, and silver flatware became a dining essential. New serving pieces were introduced during the 1880s and 1890s, before the number of pieces in any one pattern began to decline. Grace Campbell owned an assortment of flatware serving pieces in various styles, occasionally monogrammed; this bar spoon may have belonged to her daughter Helen Campbell Powell, married in 1917. |
