Two American Sterling Silver Souvenir Pieces with Native American

United States, ca. 1900 to 1915 CE. Two charming sterling silver pieces from the golden age of American souvenir silver, both with Native American portrait motifs in the period’s romantic style. The first is a souvenir spoon from Portland, Oregon. Its bowl is finely engraved with a scenic view of Mt. Hood rising above a river valley and inscribed “MT HOOD – 11932 FT” and “PORTLAND, OR.” The die-struck handle is richly modelled with ears of corn twining up the stem to a full-relief bust of a chief in a feathered headdress at the terminal. It is marked “S.S.M.C.” and “STERLING” on the reverse. The second is a manicure tool, probably a nail file or cuticle pusher, with a hollow sterling silver handle in high Art Nouveau style. It is embossed with a profile portrait of a Native American maiden with long braids, framed by whiplash scrolls and blossoms, and fitted with a steel blade. It is marked “STERLING” on the handle. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. Item # 206025
