Hello,

A shipwreck site from the early 20th century has yielded five spoons
that appear to made of a cuprous metal and plated in silver.  Engraved
on the back of the spoons are the words "Magnetic Silver."  I have not
been able to locate a reference for this type of silverware.  Is anyone
familiar with the type?

Thanks in advance,
