COMMENTS: Just purchased from a local estate a wonderful sterling silver souvenir spoon with heart shaped bowl. This spoon has flowing detail with DAR (Daughters Of The American Revolution) in the heart shaped bowl. The back of the bowl is plain. The front of the handle has a woman working at a spinning wheel with 13 stars around her and a banner that says "Home & Country" above her. The back of the handle has an eagle. Marked on the back with J.E. Caldwell & Co. hallmark and Sterling. Pictured with undisturbed aged patina.

These spoons were presented to women whose fathers had fought in the American Revolution. The women were referred to as "Real Daughters". The spoons were first presented in 1895.

The quality of this spoon ranks among the finest manufactured souvenir spoons ever made.

The firm of J.E. Caldwell was one of the premier jeweler/ silversmiths in Philadelphia, Pa.
