Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated
fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this charming Fort McHenry
1814 sterling silver souvenir spoon, commemorating one of the most significant
landmarks in American history.
Located in Baltimore, Maryland, Fort
McHenry is celebrated for its defense of Baltimore Harbor during the War of
1812. The British bombardment of the fort in September 1814 inspired Francis
Scott Key to write the poem that became The Star-Spangled Banner.
This attractive miniature souvenir
spoon features FORT McHENRY lettering extending along the handle, with 1814 prominently
displayed near the decorative tip.
The pierced handle incorporates a
raised depiction of the fort's masonry walls and an American flag, providing a
distinctive historical design.
The reverse bears a clearly stamped
STERLING hallmark and an additional diamond-shaped maker's symbol.
