Spanish American War - The Ultimate Silver Spoon - Must Read Description: $180.00
In 20 years of Span-Am collecting and many spoons I have never seen one like this. In a 5 1/2" spoon it covers the entire war. Read the detail on this stunning addition to a Span-Am Collection. - In the bowl is an image of the USS Maine exploding with the legends - "USS Maine" "Destroyed February 15th" and "War Declared April 21, 1898."
- On the front of the neck it reads "Peace Protocol Signed August 12th 1898.". The scripting is very elaborate.
- At the beginning of the handle is a portrait of Admiral George Dewey with the words "Battle of Manila May 1"
- Next on the handle is a portrait of President William McKinley with his name.
- At the top of the handle portraits of Captain Sigsbee, Captain of the Maine, and Admirals William T. Samson and Winfield Scott Schley, with their names.
- On the reverse of the handle a portrait of Lieutenant Hobson with his name. This is the officer who led a small team to sink the old coal vessel Merrimac in the mouth of Santiago Harbor as a blockship.
- Beneath the last item in an oval an image of the crew of the Merrimac escaping and the ship sunk, with the words "Sinking of the Merrimac."
- On the reverse of the neck are "Battle of Santiago" "San Juan" and "El Caney". The scripting in this section is very elaborate.
- There is no decoration on the reverse of the bowl.
There is no silver mark, and it is likely silver plate. 5 1/2" long. Very rare. Free Shipping in the USA.
