Antique sterling silver souvenir spoon commemorating the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. The vermeil bowl features a detailed engraved image of the U.S. Government Building, surrounded by the wording “Pan American Exposition 1901.”
The ornate handle displays raised architectural and scrollwork decoration with a small blank cartouche. The reverse is clearly stamped STERLING.
The spoon was gently cleaned, but the remaining tarnish and patina were intentionally left intact to preserve its antique character and avoid removing additional vermeil from the bowl.
