Souvenir Spoon Ornament
Many of the Victorians collected souvenirs to display from their travels. One of the many items they collected were souvenir spoons. These spoons were available usually in silver or silver plate. Some were very plain and some were very ornate.

We have found many examples of these spoons in antique stores, flea markets etc... The price ranges from a few dollars and up according to if the spoon is silver or silver plate. You should be able to identify if the spoon is silver by checking the back of the handle. It usually says sterling with identification marks. Also, check the spoons carefully. Some of them have dates of a special occasions such as a gift to someone or a special event.
