Carved Marriage Spoon One of the common bridal gifts was a carved wooden cooking spoon. This Hand Carved Maple Marriage Spoon is truly a work of art as well as a "Labor of Love". Truly impressive, if you can visualize the solid block of Maple and the whittling tool that faced off at the commencing of this project. Circa: 1800. Notice the two 1/2 hearts detail on the side of the handle. The spoon measures 15-1/2" long and is in excellent condition. From the Al and Barbara Sale Collection - Maine. Wonderful Folk Art as well as a wonderful gift! F9G14745 5401 Questions? Ask the Ferret!
