About the Author
Simon Moore has been interested in antique eating cutlery since the late 1960s. A study of folding fruit knives began with a gift from a friend and led to a wider interest, encompassing first spoons and then knives and forks. He is currently researching the origins or the influences on twentieth-century and later spoon designs.

Spoons 1650-2000 (Shire Album) A Grandad's Review
Having purchased this book, I found it to be useful but not universal in its content. I have a number of 1950's Silver spoons which have marks that are not shown in this book. It is interesting and a credible companion but can not be used as all things "spoon". Well priced and delivered in good time.
