Vintage Charley McCarthy "The Detective" Souvenier Silver 6" Spoon 1930s

Description

This was a premium offered by
Chase & Sanborn Coffee Company
(sponsor of Bergen's hit radio show). By sending in one dated end flap from a package of Chase & Sanborn coffee and ten cents, you could have this really nifty teaspoon featuring Charlie wearing his deerstalker cap and holding a magnifying glass, as seen in
"Charlie McCarthy, Detective."
You'd be the envy of all of your childhood chums!
Chase & Sanborn offered four different pieces of Charlie flatware. This
"Detective"
spoon is somewhat less common than the
"Top Hat"
teaspoon. In addition to the
"Top Hat"
spoon, you could also obtain a
knife
(featuring Charlie in western garb) and a
fork
(featuring the same Charlie bust as depicted on the
"Top Hat"
spoon). See my other listings for these pieces of flatware.
