World War 1

Figural

General and Admiral Spoons

This interesting set of six World War l General/Admiral spoons was issued by Caron Bros. Rainwater identifies them as a very small manufacturer of metal products located in Montreal, Canada. She states that they were in business from 1901 - 1931, so I am assuming that these spoons were issued sometime after WWl.

These spoons are silver plated and to my knowledge were not made in sterling silver.

Roger Bros. Generals and Admirals

Roger Bros Silversmiths issued this silver plated set of six spoons as a souvenir of the "great war."

"Souvenir De La Guerre 1914 - 1918"

I find it totally amazing that Roger Bros. produced spoons of the same six people as did Caron Bros. Although my sources do not indicate that the firms are related, this is too much of a co-incidence.
