Jefferson Tablespoon
This spoon was made by Elizabeth Tookey in London between 1768 and 1769 and originally belonged to Bathurst Skelton, the first husband of Martha Wayles Jefferson. It bears the initials B, M, and S for Bathurst and Martha Skelton. Martha married Thomas Jefferson after Skelton's death, but she died nearly twenty years before Jefferson became president.
