Rangeley Maine sterling silver souvenir tiny demi spoon with pine cones by CMR

Description

Pine Cones and needles with cut out background decorate this cute little spoon. Rangeley Maine is hand engraved in the bowl.
Rangeley started as a small settlement in a lake region of Maine. By the late 1800's it was becoming a popular destination for fishermen, and lodges were built in the area. By 1910 the town has banks, schools and all the other necessities of a busy town. The "golden age" for Rangeley Maine was in the 1920's and 30's when trains and buses brought people from the big cities for a summer vacation. this is probably the time period when this spoon was sold.
Single die, the back is blank.
Weight 8.72 grams, length 4 1/8"
The spoon has a very small amount of tarnish, I have not cleaned it. This spoon has only a little scuffing from careless storage, please see pictures.
Maker: Charles M. Robbinsestablished 1892, symbol R in a diamond with 3 bars behind that looks like awing or superhero cape.
Souvenir spoons were introduced in America in 1891 and remained popular through 1915. They had a short revival in the 1920's. Most silver souvenir spoons are over 100 years old. Unless dated, I do not know the exact age of the spoons I am selling.
