W. Kimball Coin Silver Soup Spoons Ca. 1840

Six W. Kimball Coin Silver soup spoons made around 1840. The maker is one of the few I have not been able to definitively locate a record for. The family I purchased them from had 19th century roots in Connecticut. The six of these weigh a total of 8.2 Troy oz.
