Up for auction is an antique French 950 sterling silver sauce/gravy ladle. The ladle is 14 1/4" long and weighs 69.6 grams. It has a twisted handle, which ends with a 3 3/8" bone part. At least I think it s bone. The bone has a hair line (pic. #5), which is seen on most antique items. The ladle is marked with a Minerva1. Maker's mark is difficult to decipher. Overall it is in very good antique condition. Great collectible. Good luck with your bidding.
