CATALINA SOUVENIR SPOONS: WATSON CO., ATTLEBORO, MA

Research by Harry Merrick: The Watson Co. and its earlier incarnations, identified by various permutations of the names Watson and Newell and including a subsidiary, the Mechanics Sterling Co., were very active producers of Catalina souvenir teaspoons during the first few decades of the 20th century. Some of the most elaborate and quintessential Catalina souvenir teaspoons are their products.

For the most part Watson’s teaspoons are “old style”, decorated front and back, with bowls displaying an embossed Avalon Bay scene. They produced at least a half dozen specialty spoons, and frequently they (or other jewelers and engravers) associated a number of other Watson pattern spoons, including two very distinctive generic themed fishing patterns, with Catalina, via engraved inscriptions, engraved scenes and embossed bowl scenes.

Many of their early topically themed pattern spoons were illustrated on a page entitled “Spoons for the Sea Shore” in a Watson, Newell Co. catalog (ca. 1900-1910). It displayed the available Watson generic fishing and maritime theme spoons and one Watson Catalina specialty spoon (W-N #841) and provided the pattern number for each.

The history of maker’s marks attributed to the Watson Co. and its antecedent firms is a bit murky and not very precisely dated. Conventionally, three different marks are reportedly found on “Watson” produced spoons. The earliest is the “Pennant H” mark, which is also sometimes specifically attributed to the Mechanics Silver Co., the Watson flatware making subsidiary. A rarer “Pennant W” mark is also found occasionally. However, by far and away, the most common Watson mark is a three-part hallmark style mark, which according to C. McGlothlin (pers. com.) is likely to have first appeared in late 1905 or 1906.

Prior to about 1906 all "Watson" flatware (including souvenir spoons) were marked with a "Pennant H" mark that is frequently attributed to the Mechanics Silver Co. That is why you sometimes find "Watson" spoons listed as Mechanics Silver Co. and vice versa. The Mechanics Silver Co. was a wholly owned subsidiary of "Watson" (or Watson Newell, Watson and Newell, or whatever the then current permutation of the "Watson" firm's name was). I think they shared the same physical building as the Watson hollowware division.

According to Harry Merrick:

Watson did just two embossed teaspoon-sized Avalon Bay scene bowl designs (posted below.)

  • AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND.
  • AVALON CATALINA ISLAND

There are spoons with a line photo etched bowl (posted below).

  • CATALINA IS AVALON
  • AVALON CATALINA ISLAND

There are spoons with manufactured Catalina elements with Avalon-scene engraved bowls:

  • CATALINA ISL CAL.
  • AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND


Watson embossed spoon bowl Type 1
Avalon from a slightly different perspective than most embossed bowls with westward looking views of the harbor. It shows the pre-1909 single main pier, includes the Bath House pier and the Dance Pavilion with its auxiliary tent. Sugarloaf Rock is not shown, while the original Sugarloaf Point configuration is shown. Holly Hill House is not shown.
The features depicted suggest the design dates to between ca. 1898 and the first two years of the 20th century.
Watson embossed spoon bowl Type 2
Shows the pre-1909 extended single main pier and a small part of the Dance Pavilion (left foreground). Holly Hill House and Sugarloaf Rock are now included. The steamship looks a bit more modern and the caption’s lettering now includes serifs and is arranged in a wavy line. The scene also includes a small short pier just east of the main pier.
A design date ca. 1904 to 1906 seems most likely. (It appears on spoons monogrammed as late as 1910, and a fork dated 1911.)

A Rite is a series of progressive degrees that are conferred by various Masonic organizations or bodies, each of which operates under the control of its own central authority. The York Rite specifically is a collection of separate Masonic Bodies and associated Degrees that would otherwise operate independently. The three primary bodies in the York Rite are the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, Council of Royal & Select Masters or Council of Cryptic Masons, and the Commandery of Knights Templar, each of which are governed independently but are all considered to be a part of the York Rite.

Historian Harry Merrick theorizes that when Shepard went out of business in 1923, Watson acquired some of their Catalina dies, or the rights to the designs, and continued producing those designs, but now marked with Watson marks.



Watson also did two embossed demitasse-sized Avalon Bay scene bowl designs (posted below.) [Harry Merrick]

This Watson “CATALINA” figural Tuna and Sugar Loaf coffee spoon, according to a hypothesis by spoon expert, Harry Merrick, dates to when the Shepard Mfg. Co. went out of business in 1923. The Watson Co. acquired the dies and/or rights to the designs of several of Shepard’s popular Catalina spoons. The earliest Shepard Catalina specialty spoon was very likely their “Tuna” design featuring a figural tuna and Sugar Loaf. They produced these spoons, with bowls embossed with Avalon scenes, in both tea and coffee spoon sizes. Watson produced the very similar coffee spoon shown here. It differs in several important respects: Shepard’s caption, “Tuna”, is replaced by the caption, “CATALINA”, on the Watson version, the Watson bowl is undecorated and the scrollwork decoration on the reverse of Watson’s spoon differs slightly. To Merrick's knowledge Watson only produced the “clone” of this particular Shepard design in the coffee spoon size.
