ITEM: REPRINT of Original RARE 1891 Antique STERLING SILVER New York Souvenir SPOONS Vintage ADvertisement
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Quality REPRINT AD (a great color copy of the aged 1891 original BLACK & WHITE Magazine Advertisement ~ a color copy shows the aged paper with the light sepia tone coloring making it an exact duplicate of the aged original) featuring SOUVENIR SPOONS OF NEW YORK.
THE AD SHOWN ABOVE IS THE EXACT ITEM YOU WILL RECEIVE.
Please note: As most original magazine advertisements have ads on both sides, each side cannot be sold as an original. Therefore, a quality reprint is made of one side so that the ad will not be lost and can be available to collectors.
This antique, late 1800s ad beautifully illustrates three beautiful sterling silver souvenir spoons including the following:
- The KNICKERBOCKER Dessert Spoon (shown actual size)
- The PETER STUYVESANT Coffee Spoon (exact size)
- The RIP VAN WINKLE Tea Spoon (exact size)
This ad has the caption, "We offer collectors of odd spoons the opportunity of securing these artistic specimens of the silversmith's art; no expense has been spared in workmanship, design, finish, and weight to make them the most interesting pieces in any collection ........"

Why Buy Vintage Advertisements? Vintage advertising, especially one that matches a family heirloom or a cherished collectible adds value to your item as it provides fabulous provenance showing the date made, name of manufacturer, place made, and other product details. A vintage piece not only captures a time and place, providing a real-time look at the past, but makes a great asset for the historian, teacher, decorator, collector. As a gift, individual pages and ads look great matted and framed, complementing the real item in many cases, i.e., if you have an antique Hoosier Kitchen cabinet, a vintage advertisement makes a great wall accessory hung near your Hoosier showing the details.
PAYMENT DUE: Payment for this item is due upon receipt of invoice and no later than 3 days after the listing closes. If payment is not received according to these terms, the item will be offered to the underbidder or relisted.
