            Silver Magazine began its life (in 1968) as a publication devoted to the spoon collector. Throughout the years, it has evolved into the fine resource which it is today for collectors and dealers of fine silver. As Silver Magazine moved from a monthly publication in 1968 to a bi-monthly publication in 1971, the magazine underwent several name changes:

            SPOONorama News & Views — January, 1968

            SPOONorama and Silver Vistas — June 1968

            Silver-rama including spoon collector news — January, 1969

            The Magazine Silver — January/February, 1971

            Silver Magazine — January/February, 1984 to the present

            Silver Magazine is now published bi-monthly. This is a wonderful publication and includes many full-color illustrations and very informative articles on silver (frequently on souvenir spoons and silver companies). Silver Magazine is the only publication specializing in the entire field of silver. Silver Magazine is a must for the collector/dealer or casual aficionado.
