[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 265589, member: 136"]Hi, Lenny - I haven't had a chance to check the knife yet, but the spoon is from WATSON Company of Attleboro, MA. (see: [URL]http://www.925-1000.com/americansilver_W2.html[/URL]) It's a STORK spoon, often used as a baby gift and/or for use in feeding that baby. The bowls of these spoons were often engraved with baby details (name, birth date & the like.) Sometimes, these same "blanks" also were used as souvenir spoons for locales where the bird on the handle might be native to the area. In this case, any engraving in the bowl likely would indicate the town/city/state and perhaps the year.[/QUOTE]
