This is a vintage silver-plated souvenir spoon featuring HMS Victory, the famous flagship of Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). The spoon displays a detailed enamel crest with a three-masted ship identified as HMS Victory, with “Bermuda” on the banner below, reflecting Bermuda’s historic connection to the Royal Navy.
The spoon is marked “SILVER PLATED / MADE IN ENGLAND” on the reverse, indicating English manufacture for the early 20th-century tourist and export market. The handle features ornate scrollwork in a classic Victorian / Edwardian revival style.
Details:
• Ship: HMS Victory
• Location: Bermuda
• Material: Silver plated (not solid silver)
• Origin: Made in England
• Era: Circa early 1900s–1920s

Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. Enamel remains intact with visible age-appropriate wear. Some green oxidation (verdigris) and patina present around the enamel and recessed areas, consistent with age and silver plating. No breaks or repairs noted. Please review photos for exact condition.
