This Wm Rogers & Son AA silver plate advertising spoon featuring the "Banner Buggies" design is a collectible piece that showcases the craftsmanship and creativity of American silverware artisans. This piece is less usual as it is engraved only in the bowl, not on the handle.  Most of the others I've seen are engraved on the handle also. Made in the United States, this 5 5/8" spoon is composed of silverplate weighing 22 grams. With the iconic buggy design and the reputable Wm. Rogers & Son brand, this spoon is a fun and charming addition to any antique collection or kitchen decor. The Banner Buggy Company was one of the largest horse-drawn vehicle manufacturers in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was founded in 1892 in Columbus, Ohio by Russell E. Gardner. Various premiums were given to purchasers when they bought a buggy, and a piece of silverware like this was one such premium.
