Creedmore Spoons
If you were going to the Creedmore 1000 yd Matches in 1877 you might be taking one of these Spoons with you. While the weight and trigger configuration of several of these spoons would have prohibited one from competing they are of the type used successfully in that era.
1. C Sharps model 1875 LR There wee only a few of these built as proto- types by the original Sharps Co in 1875-76.
2. Gibbs Style LR Percussion 451 Caliber, This was the type of spoon that the Irish, English, South African and Austalian teams used from the 1860's to the 1880's.
3. Shiloh Sharps LR Express, The Sharps model 1874 was used by the American team in 1876 to beat the spoon teams from the British empire. The 1874 Sharps is the rifle associated with the winning of the West
