Description of Catalog. This catalog with illustrations of 368 sterling souvenir spoons depicting Indians is a "must" for anyone who is interested in collecting Indian souvenir spoons. Originally printed in 1983 (only 200 copies), this catalogue has been reprinted from the original plates (with the permission of the author, Jim Frink) and is now available to ASC members as well as other souvenir spoon collectors. In the Introduction, Frink stated: "On the pages to follow are 368 spoons. Some frequently encountered, others quite rare. There are those that are really great, and some that are rather mediocre, and a lot that are in between. Nearly all the spoons pictured have as a common bond, an Indian, Indian bust, or head as a predominate part of the spoon. A great many of the Indian spoons shown in this catalog are found in more than one size. Some even come in five different sizes ranging from large teaspoons to salt spoons."

Description of Book: Every souvenir spoon has a story worth telling and one which is worth knowing. In this superbly illustrated book "An Alphabet Book for Spoon Collectors and Children" the authors have assembled a splendid collection of souvenir spoons to illustrate each letter of the alphabet. Each souvenir spoon has a story behind it and one that it willing tells to all who will listen.

This book has two integrated parts: For the avid spoon collector there is A Compendium of Souvenir Spoons in which each of the 137 spoons are identified and referenced: detailed descriptions, patent information, makers' marks, trademarks, type of spoon and references to major spoon resources, books and articles. For each example, there is a Spoon History in which essential information is given about the spoon itself and about the details represented on the spoon handle and in the bowl (e.g. cities, buildings, persons, occasion for issue, artistic commentary, etc.). The Compendium of Souvenir Spoons (168 pages with detailed photographs) will provide much useful information both for the novice and the advanced collector of spoons.

These 137 souvenir spoons are illustrated in Baby Spoon's New Handle, an alphabet primer that takes the reader along with Baby Spoon as he searches for a new handle. In the past children ate with curved baby spoons and in time graduated to a straight-handled spoon: a momentous event, part of growing up and leaving behind childish things. In the
beautifully illustrated story, Baby Spoon searches for a new handle, but there are so many from which to choose; each handle has its own unique history and character. Which handle will it be?: the handle with the alligator? the buffalo? the crab? the elephant? the fish? the horse? the king? the lighthouse? the ostrich? the penguin? the rabbit? the stork? the turtle? the umbrella? the windmill? And, who will make the decision: Mother Chantilly? Father Wallace? or Baby Spoon? Which handle will be just the right one for Baby Spoon?

Richly illustrated with 170 high quality photographs of unique and interesting souvenir spoons, this book is both for Spooners and children. With this book children will learn their ABCs by following Baby Spoon's search for a new handle: the 26 letters of the alphabet are illustrated with spoon handles on which are depicted easily recognizable images representing each letter. Accompanying written letters reinforce the learning process. Souvenir spoon collectors will want this book in their reference library for its valuable resources, extensive discussion of each souvenir spoons and detailed index. This book will bring many hours of delight to all collectors of souvenir spoons and to children.

Description of Book: Though one many no longer order the spoons from this book, their original priuces and factual commentary (which is mostly of an historical nature) are still of interest — the illustration still invaluable a a guide to collecting; and though compiled by a contemporary of their advent it does not give a complete listing, the ones shown being only "some of the principal designs." Many more were available even at that early date.
