Spoons - Sterling Silver & Other
A
collectable souvenir spoon with a mining theme is one of the things that caught me by surprise the first time I laid eyes
on it.
I recognize that spoons have been
collector's items for a log time, but somehow I always pictured state emblems or flags as a theme. Finding a mining scene
on the handle, with the Mormon Temple on the spoon bowl was something I did not expect. Especially given the early and vocal
separation of the two activities.
It was not
until I came across this first spoon on a ebay auction, that I realized that mining themed items could show up anywhere on
anything. Now they show up here!
