Scope and Content

The spoon is quite small. It is silver in color, with a decorated handle with some type of fruit painted on. "Saugatuck Mich." is etched into the bottom part of the spoon.

Context

A 4" sterling spoon inscribed "Saugatuck Mich." on bowl and an enamel design of peaches on handle of spoon. The spoon was sent to Kit Lane after a 1976 request for souvenirs to display at the Saugatuck Historical Museum. The spoon was donated by Jeanette Barr of Port Washington, Wisconsin, daughter of Dr. R.J. Walker. She noted "The spoon with peaches on it commemorates the great peach growing boom which began in the last century and at one time suffered a disastrous freeze."
