You've given me a wealth of information on these. Stand by, I may have to share the rest of my spoons!
This insignia is still in use today. The 29th Division was called the "Blue and Gray" as it was formed in WW1 from state regiments from the north...
My grandfather found these in a burned-out house in France during the Great War. The artist's name is Deflin, but I've never been able to find any...

Nothing as nice as those shared by https://www.antiquers.com/members/dragonflywink.111/, but here are some of my favorites: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Never liked Tab, but I always liked the commercial with the bikini-clad woman strolling on the beach.
This site needs a "love" button, since "like" doesn't cover some things! Stunning spoons, and now I'm inspired to get some of my nicer ones out to...

Just today, I drove to the drugstore to request a refill Rx, rather than call on the phone.
Oh, I'm with you 100%. The worst words anyone can say to me are "YOU need to call..."
The silver forum is a great resource, and I've been able to ID several pieces with the generous help freely given there. That being said, I don't...
That's a relief...
