INDIAN TOTEM POLE SPOONS

The American souvenir spoon manufacturers were quick to pick up on the types of things that the tourists wanted to see. The totem poles of the North West indians were tourist favorites and we find many totem pole spoons in various styles.

Spoons in this style are fairly easy to acquire, but interesting.


These spoons are of "poor" quality. The enamel work is particularly poor.
