Just A Spoon Full Will Do It


American Spoons: Souvenir and Recorded by Dorothy T. Rainwater & Donna H Felger

I've always been interested in souvenir spoons. Though I don't collect them, they are fascinating to study and look at. In the pioneer 1900's souvenir spoons were likely the most popular gift for a traveler to bring back home. I'm sure that often there was a treasured first-class spoon in the curio cabinet or spoon rack of nearly every household in America at the time. Much like the post card they helped people to be fatigued back to a happy visit or vacation or to connect someone to a distant retreat from loved one who had been there.

Each one was a miniature work of art with outstanding layout and craftsmanship. Souvenir spoons showcased famous sites, relics or traditions from the locations that they were from. This is an interesting aspect from the part of a historian or researcher. Often these prominent landmarks are now gone and provide a valuable tool for study. Sometimes these spoons incorporated enamels, moving parts, embellished engraving on the bowls and gilding.

The one thing that I enjoy about this book is that there is a lot of information on unusual spoons that are not of the souvenir variety. Patents applied for cure-all spoons, folding spoons and those strange soup strainer spoons.

This 3rd edition is published by Thomas Nelson Inc. and Everybodys Press in 1968. Adamantine backed with 416 pages and is filled with b/w line illustrations and reprints from vintage catalogs. The back contains a deft list of well known and lesser known souvenir spoon makers including Towle, Gorham and Tiffany. This book is defied down into various categories like Winning the West, Meet Me At The...

where to buy souvenir spoon display rack?

does anyone be familiar with where i can buy one for those mini spoons? would a hobby or craft store such as hobby lobby or michael's sell them? thanks! condign started a collection and don't know what to do with them! ps- i am hoping to avoid ebay!


Oh gosh, I saw one in an op snitch on just the other day! These sorts of things show up in places like that, so happy op-shopping/ garage sale-ing! Even if you don't find one, you'll still have a proper time :)

What should I do with my souvenir spoon collection?

I am guessing that I have over 100, consisting mostly of the low-cost spoons bought at the souvenir stands. My grandmother started the collection for me when I was very young (I am 33 now) and there are some nicer (including genuine) ones from exotic places. I have one nice spoon rack (dark cherrywood look) that would hold a minuscule amount of the collection and two economy wooden ones that I could paint. However, I don't really have a place in my home that would lend itself well to this type of "look" and my soothe is especially against their display. But I am just not ready to "toss" them. Any ideas? Would I look like a closet "cat lady" typewrite (no offense to anyone ;-)) if I displayed them in our guest room or something?


If you satisfaction in them, then display them.
If you'd like to keep them around just to have them store them away. Do you have anyone you could pass them on to?
You could always sell them on ebay or in your local classifieds. You never conscious what people will buy.

Have you ever eaten with a souvenir spoon ?

My ma has a rack full of spoons from Reno, London, Melbourne, Cairo but they on hand on the wall and never get used, just polished from time to time.
hang on the wall, hang, hang, hold out.


hehee. That's a unusual question. I have about 50 of those darned things and I can't imagine eating from them. How stupid are those dumb spoons--exactly hanging around saying "Looky where I came from" (big deal, who cares!).

The funniest spoon I do eat from is an antique silver grapefruit spoon--it's teensy-weensy too. It is shaped like a spade and the handle is in the shape of a gathering of grapefruits.
