GEORGE III 'ONSLOW' STERLING LADLE, C. 1774, L 7 1/4":A shell-form bowl with elongated handle, hallmarks on the reverse include "TE", possibly for Thomas Evans, and a lion passant, as well as a date letter, though rubbed it appears to be a Gothic T, the other probably a crowned leopard (see additional photo), and engraved squirrel crest at the tip. Weighs approximately 1.69 troy oz.

Condition

There is a small line across the neck of the handle (apparent in the photo) but bears no other evidence of repair; overall, condition appears to be good.
