Lot 862
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, was pridefully celebrating 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 $350-UP.
