Beautiful red banded agate handle shovel and pick spoon with open silver handle, marked Manitou. Since this is a Colorado engraver, probably Manitou Springs. 'Chas' is engraved on the back. This five inch spoon is marked "holding down a claim" and shows a miner with a rifle protecting his claim. This is a very unusual hand engraved vignette. Probably made by HH Tammen of Denver circa 1895. City: Manitou Springs State: Colorado Date: c1895 ID# 37623
