CATALINA SOUVENIR SPOONS: R. WALLACE AND SONS MFG., WALLINGFORD, CT
1871-present. Major manufacturer, full line flatware and holloware. Currently named Wallace Silversmiths. According to Santa Catalina Island spoon historian, Harry V. Merrick, the R. Wallace and Sons Manufacturing Company of Wallingford CT (1871-present) appears to have produced just a single Catalina specialty spoon design with Catalina Isle in block letters at the end of the handle above Sugar Loaf. It does not appear that they produced this design in demitasse spoons, nor designed a Catalina embossed bowl scene to apply to their specialty spoon or any other of their pattern spoons. There are spoons by Wallace with Avalon-scene engraved bowls, as well as with plain bowls engraved with Catalina text.
