Description:
The Poe family used this ladle in the Fordham, New York cottage in which Edgar Allan Poe; his wife, Virginia Clemm Poe; and his mother-in-law, Maria Poe Clemm, lived from 1846 until 1849. Mrs. Daniel C. Sands, whose grandmother-in-law had purchased the ladle from an auction held at the cottage, donated the piece to the Poe Museum in 1922.
