The first three spoons in the last post are from a 1970 book featuring the same Yale University collection referenced in the first post's 1937 article on "Dutch-New York Spoons", and it mentions that the Bohlen spoon was probably a wedding or christening gift (in last post because it mentions use of similar as memento mori, should have noted that).</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
