Vintage 1898 Mining Fair souvenir demitasse spoon by Sheffield Plate Co., a late 19th century American silverplate manufacturer.
Measuring 4 3/8" long, it features an ornate handle detailing and engraved bowl reading "Mining Fair 1898." Likely produced for a regional mining fair or exhibition.
Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. Areas of silverplate heel loss on the back of the bowl consistent with use over time. Light surface wear and natural patina throughout. Engraving remains crisp and legible.
This is a wonderful collectible for fans of Americana, mining history, or souvenir spoons. Great for display or as part of a curated historical flatware collection.
