THE OMAHA SOUVENIR SPOON
The Omaha souvenir spoon was issued by Max Meyer & Bro. Co. of Omaha in 1891:
Max Meyer & Bro. Co. - Omaha, Neb. - 1891
OMAHA SPOON
Omaha, Neb., although a comparatively new city, has had a remarkable growth, from a population of only 4,000 to 5,000 twenty years ago to 14,000 by the census of 1890. Where the city now stands was originally the hunting ground of the Omaha Indians, after whom the city was named. The aborigines of America being surrounded with an atmosphere of romance, it is natural that a souvenir spoon designed to commemorate the progressive city on the Mississippi, should embody some suggestions of its former inhabitants.
The design conceived by Max Meyer & Bro. Co., Omaha, Neb., for their souvenir spoon has as its principal feature the portrait in bas-relief of a celebrated Omaha Indian chief, “ White Eagle,” the last chief of the Omahas, whose bones have lain buried at Sulphur Springs in Omaha for the past forty years. The oldest inhabitants of the city, men who went there thirty years ago, remember the mound which was surrounded by a palisade of willow poles bound together with grapevines. Subsequently, immigrants used the stakes for firewood, and the mound has gradually worn away until it is now almost level with the ground. White Eagle was killed in a battle with the Pawnees ; he was brought home and buried in a sitting posture on his horse almost in sight of the place where he was born.
Being the last great chief of the Omahas, the Max Meyer & Bro. Co. thought it only fitting to perpetuate his memory. His profile is in bas-relief and shows the gorgeous head-dress of feathers ; below this are his bow and arrows, the emblems of Indian warfare, and further down, as a peace offering, the corn and maize which are so abundantly raised in Nebraska are shown. This spoon is made in tea, orange, sugar, ice-cream, and other sizes. It is a very artistic piece of work and commemorates the last chief of the Omaha Indians in an appropriate manner.

THE MT. TOM SOUVENIR SPOON
Jewelers in Springfield, Holyoke and Northampton have formed a syndicate to make a souvenir spoon which is to be known as the Mt. Tom spoon. The syndicate paid $300 for the die and the spoon is a beauty. Starting at the tip of the spoon is a view of Dwight St., in Holyoke, which runs half way up the bowl. Then comes a representation of Mountain Park, with its pavilions. Running up the handle is an embossed electric line with cars and turnouts, representing the line from Mountain Park to Mt. Tom, and at the end of the handle is a picture of Mt. Tom itself.
