Lot 869
More than a Spoonfull of Pleasures in U.S. Collector's Spoons. Ca. 1940's-1980's. More fun stuff from this never ending run of U.S collector and novelty spoons, all again in the vein of the preceding lots. Once more, a number of spoons feature an open ring in the middle of the handle from which dangles an appropriate pendant related to the locale on the handle -- one here from Illinois, "The Land of Lincoln," with a fine little bust of the beloved president. Other goodies include: a Hawaii spoon with splendid tiki figure with rhinestone eyes; a pictorial handle having the space shuttle, from the Kennedy Space Center; an old spoon from "Holiday on Ice"; and another from the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Victorville, California. The bulk of the collection, again, is chrome plated steel or stainless steel. A few in silver plate, with one or two in gold tone, along with a couple of copper and maybe a few foreign spoons that may have snuck in. Over 175 pieces in the lot. A handful of spoons here still in their original boxes.
Estimated Value $325-UP.
