Lot 1628
A Motherload of Spoon Delights for the Collector Who Loves Canada. Ca. 1940's-1970's. If you've been looking for that certain Canadian spoon, it's got to be in here! A wide variety of spoon types and shapes, predominantly teaspoon and demitasse sizes. The handles are simple to elaborate, with some sort of device to the finial -- from uncolored metal blazons, to enameled motifs, painted emblems, engraved devices or even little sculptures in the round. The bowls include the normal shape, shovel- or spade-shaped, and scalloped, along with being plain, with greetings, or name of locale, and a few enameled in full color. Themes regularly encountered are: the maple leaf, salmon or fishing, and of course, the beloved Mounties. One hilarious little spoon from Ottawa pridefully celebrated the country's war effort--the columnar handle was topped with a miniature tank! The bulk of the collection, again, is chrome plated steel, a few older ones in silver plate. Over 125 pieces in the lot. Try it, you'll like it.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
