Welcome - to the Society of Caddy Spoon Collectors!Caddy Spoons are collected by a many enthusiasts all over the world. Collectors appreciate that nearly 260 years of craftsmanship have created a field of collecting which combines historical interest, aesthetic appeal and the opportunity for investment. In response to growing interest, the Society of Caddy Spoon Collectors was founded in 1963, by respected antique expert Eric Delieb. Today, as then, the aim of the Society is to offer information and advice to new and established collectors and to share our enthusiasm through a programme of social events, Journal's and Buletin's to our members. The attraction of caddy spoons is understandable. Their history reaches back to Georgian times. The range of designs is enormous and constantly growing. A wide range of materials are used, including bone, ivory, wood, copper, pewter and stainless steel to silver and even gold - there are spoons to suit every budget. And for over 260 years famous silversmiths and craft workshops have applied their creativity and technical skills to the caddy spoon. That tradition is still flourishing today, and the Society plays an important role in supporting it. We invite you take a look around our website to view the many benefits we offer to collectors at every level. UK Membership is £25 a year, Overseas Membership is £28 a year.
