Well folks, I have taken the plunge. In my never ending efforts to be just like our beloved tabs when I grow up, I have endeavored to take up spoon collecting. Not being exactly sure where to start (and always being "user" of fine artifacts as opposed to a "collector" per se) I happened upon what I thought was a pretty good way to jump-start my collection. I found a boxed set. Now I know what "boxed set" means in the firearms collecting field, so I'm hoping it carries similar conotations in the world of spoon collecting. I'm pretty excited about this; I can't believe I actually found a set of "nice 'n elegant" spoons at this price. And they actually appear to be somewhat useful for the intended purpose, unlike the very high-end "collector" spoons. What do you all think?
