What is a skyline?
The first skyline spoon design, on the tag end of the Art Nouveau era, was patented in 1901 and by 1913 designs were beginning to change under the influence of Art Deco and no more new true skylines were introduced. A true skyline should be viewed horizontally (the exception being the three stacked skylines of Chicago, New York and Boston) which eliminates monuments such as the Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument. There are city skylines, building skylines, riverscape skylines, bridge skylines and natural skylines (mountains and such). Partial skylines are when less than half the handle shows a skyline. I only know of only one enclosed skyline that Ouida Verizzo, author of American Skyline Souvenir Spoons, considers a true and that's an Atlantic City spoon. The other pointed handled spoons with a band of silver enclosing the cutouts around a few buildings, a mountain or a scene near the tip of the handle are not true skylines.
