12 Jan 2009

I have a pewter spoon. The end of the handle has a bust that has a flat hat and looks like Christopher Columbus on a column. The stem has 2 lines that stand up and is like an S curve that cross over each other to form ovals. These ovals have stand up dots inside of them that look like clusters of grapes. They end at the top of a figure of a naked lady that is very detailed. She is straddled over what appears to be a barrel and it sets on top of what appears to be another column. This ends at the bowl. The bowl is almost a perfect circle. It is 6 1/2" total length. The spoon is almost black. On the back is a oval circle that has inside what appears to be an old English D on the left then five rows of two dots that are zigzagged in the center. On the right inside the oval is what appears to be an old English S. Below the oval is a rectangle with a smaller rectangle inside. Inside is a figure holding a balance scale. From the end of the rectangle to the bowl there is a V shaped that protrudes. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. angel42148@centurytel.net

I have my 95 year old mother's blue/chrome dinette table and 4 chairs. I think she and my father purchased the set in the late 40's or very early 50's. Most of the Royal Blue plastic band that goes around the lip of the table is missing and the table legs and chair legs are terribly pitted. The top of the table - probably faded from use/cleaning, is a light blue and white made to resemble marble. The chairs has the tags: VIRTUE BROS. MGG. Co., Los Angeles California, and tells what the cushion padding was made with. It also has a Serial Number 2568. Can you: 1. Approximate its current condition? 2. Can the pitted legs of the table & chairs be re-chromed or refinished. It is pitted rather deep in places. 3. Can the plastic band be purchased and its cost? Thanks Don Ingle diitx@sbcglobal.net
