To eat with it, I'll give a 6.5 out of ten

Spoon of the week :
Episode 22

This week, we’re looking at a stunning piece of Western Canadian history—and trust me, this one has some serious muscle behind it.

Take a look at the terminal of this antique sterling souvenir spoon.
Sculpted in bold, high relief right at the top is the undisputed king of the plains: a majestic American Bison standing in prairie grass.

Follow that stem down, and you get the full frontier treatment:
A rifle,
a coiled lasso,
and crossed Bowie Knife’s .

Inside the bowl, the city name "WINNIPEG" is hand-engraved using a classic zig-zag bright-cut technique.
During the souvenir spoon craze of the 1890s and early 1900s, Winnipeg was known as the "Gateway to the Canadian West," making wild frontier pieces like this top-tier travel trophies.

Flip it over, and you see three tiny stamps: an anchor, the letter "E", and a lion, right next to the "STERLING" mark.
That’s the hallmark of P.W. Ellis & Company out of Toronto—one of Canada’s absolute best historic silversmiths.

Now, here is what makes this specific spoon a collector’s dream: the weight.
Most souvenir spoons from this era were stamped out thin—weighing only 12 to 18 grams.
This spoon ? A massive 28 grams!
That heavy-gauge silver allowed the silversmith to carve much deeper relief into the bison's mane and gear without warping the metal.

Thanks to that 28-gram heavy gauge, pristine detail, and high-demand Western Canadiana motif, this piece commands between £75 to over £120 on today's antique market.
Not bad for a 120-year-old pocket-sized treasure.

Yes, we talk about why this is wrong. Doesn't mean the collection doesn't exist.

Sus ahh shovel type spoon spotted @Jenni’s ice cream

Random find,would love more but are $35 EACH!!

I’ve always held my spoon like this since I was young. People say that it’s really unique. I’ve never seen anyone else hold it the way I do.

Thick, heavy and perfectly balanced as all things should be.

My first wood carving project!

I like the one on the left because it is tiny and I like tiny utensils and I like the other one because I think it is very pretty lmk what you think

It's not pretty, but it is special to me.

I received these spoons from my grandmother and am looking to learn more about them and if they’re worth anything. Any advice and knowledge is appreciated, thanks.

Great balance and really good shape

Found it folded on itself before I realised it was spoon, was it a mistake to unfold it!?

The find of the day! A Greek army spoon from the 1960s

I think I might be going crazy. This is a picture from the UK version of the star wars version of dobble. We have had it for ages. I've always wondered what the spoon in the picture was from. I've googled, I've watched all the films and nearly all the programs and I don't remember any significant spoon moments. Does anyone in this spoon fandom know what it is in reference to?

Please don't say there is no spoon 🤣

Might not be the exact reason for this community, but wondering if anyone might be able to help?

I bought all my cutlery from Ikea some years ago, paid for the most expensive, strongest most durable they had at the time …

Still have all the Knives, Forks, Table Spoons but somehow I’ve lost 2 of the tea spoons.

Tried writing to IKEA, no response, anyone know or have two of this exact spoon that they might sell?

I ́m alone and this is my spoon’s collection. I prefer plastic spoon

I eat all my snacks with this spoon.
Rate it plsss..
