Geezus what planet are Boyz from? Planet 1950? I have been telling you for years spoon prices are strong. Prices have been on the rise since 1997 when the WS Journal ran an article that said collectable spoons are a legit investment. In 09 prices became soft for about 2 minutes and have since been climbing as if people would rather have the hard asset than the cash.

With the latest round of political and economic instability (notably comments by the FED) spoon prices have started to sizzle. The jury is still out on that as I need more confirmation.

Now lets get to Griffin & Howe they are a long established maker of custom spoons and a premium retailer of the finest in sporting arms. Meaning their prices are strong retail as are the other purveyors in the same niche market.

I have been an active participant in this endeavor since 1979. I watch a lot of auctions across the nation and even at times internationally on an on going basis. I can not tell you how many of these guyz I have dealt with. A lot of my acquaintances in this endeavor are no longer here with us. So you might say I have my finger on the pulse of this market.

I also have formed an opinion recently as to what is gong to happen when the big 3 forms of investment (Bonds, Equities, and RE) cease producing ROI due to economic, political and social instability. You are already getting a taste of that now..
