Vintage Snow White Baby Spoons

Stamped with "1847 ROGERS BROS.," this silver-plated etched baby spoon probably dates from the 1950s. The piece features the Snow White characters up and down the handle on both the front and back sides.

This spoon looks nearly identical to the one above except it is stamped with "R.W. CO. LTD"--a marking usually associated with the Rolex Watch Company. They would offer promotional giveaways, like this spoon, to customers who purchased a watch, circa 1950s.
