Thirty-five (35) pieces (originally 36 but, one got lost) of spoons commemorating the past presidents of the United States of America prior to Nixon. Each spoon measures approximately 6" in length. On the tip of the handle is embossed the likeness of the president it is representing and below that, the number he represents in the succession of the presidency as well as the inclusive years when he was in office. Embossed on the stem of the handle is the name of the president written vertically. On the bowl of the spoon is a raised depiction of something which happened during his presidency. For example, in Lincoln�s spoon is a quote from his Gettysburg Address in November 19, 1863. In James Polk�s spoon is depicted the annexation of Texas, California and New Mexico. At the back of each spoon�s stem is stamped �WMROGERS MFG. CO.� as well as the letters �IS�.

This has been in the family for forty (40) years.
