<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 10223437, member: 182"]I'm thiking it's a Coal Mine scene. This is one I sold awhile back for a coal mine in Carbondale, PA. I also found a postcard with the same image. This spoon and the one shown here have very similar details. It's my understanding that these engraved spoons were custom made in local jewelry shops. They would buy the blanks and engrave them locally with whatever scenes were popular around the area. Also, names and dates could be engraved. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510871[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
