DIAMOND JUBILEE SPOON

[Welland Tribune, 2 July 1897]

THE Ontario Silver Company of Humberstone has issued a unique and handsome Jubilee souvenir teaspoon. The bowl of the spoon has a finely engraved representation of the famous British battleship, the Camperdown, whilst the handle, which is gold plated, bears the inscription, “Diamond Jubilee. Sixty years prosperity to 360 Million People, 1837-1897.” The end of the handle is surmounted by a correct representation of the Queen, and the reverse of the handle represents Canadian emblems. It is all very handsome.
