Lot of 7 teaspoons, 8” long. 1) A beautiful sterling silver spoon made by C.D. Peacock of Chicago. The plain bowl is topped by depictions of the Chinese Temple and the Carillon Tower, with “A Century of Progress” embossed at the top of the handle. On the reverse of the handle is a panorama of the Ft. Dearborn Massacre of 1812, and “Chicago in 1833.” The House of Peacock first began in 1837 when Elijah opened his jewelry and watch repair shop. The business survived the great fire of 1871 and eventually, in 1889, Elijah passed the business on to his son Charles Daniel Peacock and changed the name of the company to C.D. Peacock. His tradition of quality and service carries through even today [Ref: www.cdpeacock.com/index.jsp?content=article&section=412...]. 2-3) Two spoons made by Oneida Community Co. One is marked Par Plate, and shows the Administration Building in the bowl with “A Century of Progress,” 1933, and Chicago on the front of the handle, and the Hall of Science depicted on the reverse. The second spoon is marked Tudor Plate, has a plain bowl and the handle shows the Federal Building, with the above tag line and date. On the reverse is also the Hall of Science. 4) Again with a plain bowl, but showing the Carillon Tower, Hall of Science and the date on the front of the handle, with Ft. Dearborn and “Electrical Group” on the reverse. Marked sterling. 5) A silver plate spoon made by Winthrop Silver Plate Company. It has the Science Court pictured in the bowl and Clara Lu ‘n’ Em on the handle with a comet, the fair’s logo, and the date. 6-7) Two Wm. A. Rogers spoons with the Administration Building pictured in the bowls, and an allegorical face, Chicago, logo and 1933 date on the front of the handle.
