Bonus history fact: Did you know that souvenir spoons were originally introduced in the US in 1890? The first noted American souvenir spoons were manufactured in Washington D.C. by Galt and Bros Inc, featuring a profile of George Washington. A year later a jeweler in Salem, Massachusetts began making the now rare Salem Witch spoon. After selling 7,000 copies, a craze began for collecting them in the U.S. Jeweler Daniel Low was inspired to make it after seeing souvenir spoons on vacation in Germany.   (Source: Souvenir Spoon wiki
