The Spoons   
      
   I Had a friend that I worked with for years. She rode to work with me and was   
   always so jolly and a joy to be around.  I left for a better paying job and   
   she moved to another city but never sold the house she owned.  We stayed in   
   touch but as time went by we lost touch.  Her daughter called me one day and   
   told me she had passed away.  She told me they was going to have an estate   
   sale at her mother's house and thought I would like come by and pick something   
   for a keepsake for myself before the sale.  I picked a set of gold brushed   
   coin silver spoons pat.  In 1884 by J.  F.  Kohler and made in the John   
   H.Tyler & Co.  In Richmond, Va..  The set is supposed to have twelve spoons   
   but had only eleven.  It didn't matter that one spoon was missing because I   
   had something special to remember her by and it was made in the city I live.    
   Someday I hope I'll find this special spoon so I can complete the set.  Until   
   then I will cherish the ones I have.  Betty (See photos of these spoons at
