Spoon

Souvenir metal spoon with a rustic “log cabin” motif forming the handle terminal. The handle is designed to resemble a wooden branch, complete with bark texture and knot details. At the top, in raised relief, is a small log cabin with the embossed words “TOWLE’S LOG CABIN.”

The bowl of the spoon is plain and heavily tarnished, showing signs of oxidation consistent with aged brass or bronze.

This piece likely references Towle’s Log Cabin Syrup, a popular North American syrup brand founded in the late 19th century, rather than the silversmith brand alone. Souvenir spoons such as this were often issued as advertising premiums or collectible items, celebrating both domestic life and regional heritage imagery.
