Thank you for considering a purchase of a souvenir spoon.
Just thought you’d like to know . . . . .
Did you know the eventual souvenir craze started in the United States?
There were the occasional spoons sold in Europe, but the first legitimate spoon originated in the United States.
The spoon commemorated the Salem, Massachusetts, witches and was produced by Daniel Low & Co. which launched the souvenir spoon collecting industry about 1890.
For the most part, we sell only sterling silver spoons commemorating the little towns and boroughs of our country.
Of course, the items for sale represent a variety of other famous tourist destinations both past and present.
They have value as a commodity and for the rich memories they may invoke.
Enjoy your purchase!!
