Hello all...

Upon further investigation we found a website that speaks to this Thanksgiving Spoon
From: http://www.spoonplanet.com/thanksgiving.html
John Alden was an English Puritan pilgrim who sailed on the Mayflower (1620) to North America. At the Plymouth colony, in 1623 he married Priscilla Mullens, another Pilgrim. He is also known as a signatory of the Mayflower Compact and as the longest lived pilgrim. This tea sized spoon features his wife Priscilla knocking on a door which is marked Lord have mercy on us. This spoon has a citrus bowl but it is also available with a standard bowl and in a demi version. Patented by Durgin March 24, 1891 thus it was one of the very first souvenir spoons.
HH ALL !
