Here's another incredible offer from another Chicago based business.
Leonard Mfg. Co. - Chicago - 1895
For less than a dollar, a plush lined boxed set of six souvenir spoons with gold plated bowls, post paid and a money back guarantee.
Details of this offer by the Leonard Mfg. Co. appear on page 192 of the
Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers. Fourth Edition. By Dorothy T. Rainwater & Judy Redfield.
Apparently Leonards had "made up an immence stock of magnificent and costly souvenir spoons, to be sold on the Fair grounds at $1.50 each, but the exclusive privilege of selling souvenir spoons was awarded a syndicate of private dealers"Trev.
