I have an adorable set of a baby spoon & food pusher. The spoon has a looped handle, with a cute little angel on it. The bowl of the spoon has a cat engraved into it. It is marked sterling & then I think it has Pat. 1894. The pusher has leaves decorating the handle & also says sterling pat'd. I'm wondering what they might be worth & where the best place to sell them would be. Thanks so much for your time.
Answer Hello Dana, thank you for your question.
I can't tell for sure because I'm looking at the back side, but I think your food pusher is in the Oak pattern by Frank Smith. If it is, it's worth about $50 retail. You should get about $30 for it on eBay (which is where I recommend you sell these).
You'll want to figure out who made the baby spoon when you sell it. It's not in a standard pattern but should appeal to people who like angels. I'd price it $30 retail (again, this piece should go for 415 to $20 on eBay).
