Silver scallop-bowl sugar spoon. [Natchez, Mississippi]: G. Macpherson. Handle obverse with "NCC" engraved monogram. Handle reverse stamped "G. Macpherson" and finely engraved "Siege of Vicksburg 1863". Approx. length 6 3/8 in.
A silver sugar spoon likely taken as a trophy during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863. The spoon was crafted by Mississippi silversmith George Macpherson, who operated in Natchez.

A fine Mississippi relic.
