Irish Silver Celtic Pattern Christening Spoon - Sword of Light 1916-1966 Jubilee Hallmark
Jewellery & Metal Manufacturing Co. Ltd, Dublin 1966
An Irish silver spoon with a traditional Celtic design complete with 2 intertwined snakes, made in Dublin in 1966 and hallmarked with the Sword of Light 1916-1966 Jubilee hallmark, which was only used in 1966 to celebrate the Anniversary. The spoon is the size of a large teaspoon, the quality is excellent, at 27 grams it has a very pleasing feel in the hand, we think it would make a great Christening gift. The hallmarks are clear, as it the special commemorative Sword of Light hallmark, a flaming sword with the dates 1916 and 1966 clearly visible. The Jewellery and Metal Manufacturing Company operated in Dublin between 1925 and 1995, when it was placed in liquidation.
