IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME MORE SIMILAR (or RELATED) COLLECTIBLES, PLEASE CLICK SOME OF MY OTHER EBAY STORE CATEGORIES (Silver Souvenir Spoons & More)(Collectibles - Souvenirs, Ant)(Collectibles - Souvenirs, Vtg)(Sterling Silver + 800-835-900+)(Silverplated Collectibles)(Jewelry - Southwestern, Mexico)(Antique/Vintage Advertising)(Jewelry - All Turtles & Frogs)(Jewelry, Gold/Silver Cats/Dogs)(Jewelry, Gold/Silver Butterfly)(Jewelry - Military Related)(Jewelry - Charms, Ch Bracelets)(Collectibles - Religious Items)(Collectibles - Victorian Era)(Collectibles - Art Deco Period)(Vintage Fraternity/Sorority)(Arkansas Stuff - All Others)(Texas).AND NOW FOR THE SOUVENIR (AND OTHER COOL) SPOONS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION...HERE IS A NEAT SOUVENIR SPOON THAT WAS MADE WITH A REAL 200 REIS SILVER COIN FROM BRAZIL, DATED 1911. THAT COIN IS 90% PURE SILVER (vs. STERLING WHICH IS TYPICALLY 92.5% PURE SILVER)). I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE IF THE REST OF THE SPOON IS 90% or 92.5% PURE SILVER, AS AN ACID TEST IS NOT REFINED ENOUGH TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THESE TWO PURITIES.AS A SIDE NOTE... THE LIGHT BLUE STONE IS LIKELY AN AQUAMARINE, AS IT IS TESTING IN THAT RANGE, AND IT LOOKS THE PART. HOWEVER, IT COULD BE ANOTHER GEMSTONE THAT CAN TEST IN A SIMILAR RANGE. IN ANY CASE, IT'S NOT GLASS, BUT A REAL STONE OF SOME TYPE.THE SPOON MEASURES APPROX. 5 1/8" LONG, SHOWS MINOR WEAR AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL (THE SPOON SHOWS MINOR WEAR, BUT THE COIN SHOWS A BIT MORE WEAR FROM BEFORE IT WAS PART OF THE SPOON). THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 29.15 GRAMS. PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM. I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL. BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED. ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. THANKS!THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
