Heraldic teaspoons

Heraldic teaspoons

Heraldic teaspoons were/are popular souvenirs in many countries. Overall probably thousands of different spoons have been issued. Especially in the Netherlands they were very popular in the 1950s-1970s, but they are still produced. Most Dutch spoons tend to be plain, most non-Dutch are coloured (enamel).

Here the teaspoons in the HOTW collection are listed. These are not actively collected, but generally picked up from second hand shops or acquired through donations.
