Souvenir Spoons

I don't really deal with souvenir spoons. I have a few, one from Oklahoma and a few from other places. There are a few that are pretty interesting in a shop downtown but they are priced a bit higher than I am willing to pay.

However, if you are looking for souvenir spoons makers marks this may be a good place to start.   They seem to know what they are talking about. The site is titled American Sterling Souvenir Spoons and they have a good list of resources.

I hope it helps you with your search.

American silver, the work of seventeenth and eighteenth century silversmiths, exhibited at the Museum of fine arts, June to November, 1906

Today should be a busy day so I will leave you one archive. This is a museum catalogue from 1906. It contains silver of a type I could never afford, but it is interesting to make a study of the writing and the forms that were popular at a given time.
