Contextual information

In the 1980-90s many people collected souvenir spoons from places they visited. This spoon was one of a series using sculptural models of 'pioneers' that could be ordered with the name of the place then engraved on the front. Despite having a Cobb & Co coach on the handle, this firm never operated at Greenough.
