Silver Caddy Spoon
Welcomes you to the fascinating world of collecting silver caddy spoons. Collecting specific items and growing a detailed knowledge has been a rewarding pastime both financial and intellectually for many years.
In the 1920's W.A. YOUNG wrote in his book The Silver & Sheffield Plate Collector
"The cult of the caddy spoon is quite easily understood. even at present day prices its collection affords a man, or woman, with small means an opportunity of indulging in a hobby which has many sides. From the little coign of advantage provided by caddy spoons it is possible to pursue the quest of dates, makers, period styles, decorative details and all at the cost of a few pounds......... A collection on strictly chronological lines from, say Queen Anne to William the Fourth would yield a great deal of satisfaction in the making. the fact that some caddy spoons were made in old Sheffield plate and pewter should add to the knees of anyone who took up this article seriously".
Whilst W A Young had a curios turn of phrase his point is well made. Much pleasure can be gained by collecting silver caddy spoons.
We hope this website will develop into a useful resource for the caddy spoon and silver collector alike.
