Silver condiment spoon hallmarked with the rare Toronto maker's mark of Joseph G. Judah. Established in Canada in 1838, the business became Joseph G. Judah & Company after his death in 1857. This hallmark dates to the late 1840s. The spoon measures 4 inches in length. Judah was a successful silversmith, businessman, and prominent member of Upper Canada's early Jewish community. He played a founding role in establishing the Jewish Congregation of Toronto in 1856. Biographical information is available online and at Canada's national archives.
