LADY IN A HAT

This was a stock coffee spoon, design # 722 in Watson’s catalog (circa 1905) which jewelers could buy for $9.00 per dozen (see attached). They made six varieties with different ladies at their tops – design #s 719, 720, 721, 722 (this spoon), 839 & 855. Apparently, the jeweler who ordered this # 722 spoon, engraved its bowl and made it into a Catalina souvenir. [Chris McGlothlin]
