Destroyed Methodist Church Ada OK 5" Souvenir Spoon Native American Profile 12gr

Description

Very nice vintage sterling silver souvenir spoon for the Methodist Episcopal Church of Ada Oklahoma.  I went out looking to see if I could associate this with an existing church in Ada.  The First Methodist Church has been around since 1895, but doesn't look like the portrait in the spoon's bowl.  I see that the church was destroyed by fire in 1914, then rebuilt.
Manchester.  That firm operated out of Providence RI

Condition:  Good giftable condition. Most notable issues are two pings to the bowl as shown in several photos, including last.  No other reportable issues, such as flat spots, nicks, dents, pings, dings, bashes, unusual scratches, bends, monogram removals, carbon spots, or other blemishes. No monogram or inscription.  Faint surface abrasions create patina consistent with age and use. Pattern is still crisp and not worn away. Recent thorough hand polish.
Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials.
Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles.  On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.
I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description.
The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.
Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
