It was further stipulated that the spoons in •question are the same in all material respects as certain items covered by the decision in Grant Art Galleries v. United States (2 Cust. Ct. 341, C. D. 157). In accordance therewith they were held entitled to free entry under paragraph 1811 and subject to no additional duties.
