Featured No one was bidding so I bought it

Hi everyone, no big huge honkin' pieces of silver to share today. I've been looking but no luck this week. I went sniffing around online and came across an auction for a couple spoons and I clicked the button and away my money went. Total was $16 for 3 spoons (two plated, one sterling) but I just thought the piece was too cool to pass up, what do you think?

 

Hot Springs Arkansas souvenir.

 

I'm surprised it went so low.
Indian spoons usually bring higher dollar amounts.

Or at least they used to.

 

I don't think anyone realized it was sterling. Here's the photos I saw in order (if you didn't click the auction you wouldn't have seen the other photos), the auction was titled "Small Collector Spoons":

 

I think you scored!

 

Nice find, although with the other 2 spoons virtually worthless, that no doubt gave you your chance to get.

 

I like the Indian because he's weird! He's pudgy!
Looks like he's sitting on a throne!

 

He's on one knee, otherwise he'd look like he was on The Throne.

 

OH YOU ARE SO RIGHT RUTH!!

 

Who is on the other spoon? And, the one in the middle is an old, I-had-ice-cream-at-the Bellevue implement.

 

Thank you!

 

The maker's mark appears to be Baker-Manchester Of R.I. Makers of sterling "novelties". 1915-1930.

Good eye, Mr. Nate. That's a nice spoon.

 

BUT at least he's not sitting on THE throne!!!

 

MRN8....you done did GOOD!!!!! AGAIN!!!

 

Yes, but doesn't he LOOK LIKE HE IS from that one view point?

 

He definitely looks constipated!
