This is an interesting and ornate commemorative piece. I've only ever encounter one other. The Chicago skyline is amazing. The 'bowl' in very ornate. This piece was made by P&B Silver. I believe it was made for the Democratic convention in Chicago 1896. There is some confusion in regards to the date of manufacture. On the bowl is the year 1830. This is NOT the year this piece was made. It measures 5 1/2" long. It is in immaculate condition. You will not find one in more pristine condition. Great addition for the Chicago history collector or spoon enthusiast.
