The Vintage R. Blackinton & Co. Sterling Silver Cream/Sauce Ladle is a rare and elegant piece of silverware from the early 20th century. Made in the United States, this 5 1/4" ladle is crafted from sterling silver, showcasing the quality craftsmanship of R. Blackinton. A timeless addition to any antique collection or a unique gift for a silver enthusiast, this piece exudes a sense of vintage charm and sophistication. I have had a very hard time trying to narrow down the date. The best guess I have is from 1915 to 1963. Lovely, streamlined piece. 22 grams.
