Rogers Pass British Columbia Canada Souvenir Spoon Monument Arches 4-1/2" long

Rogers Pass BC Canada Souvenir Spoon Monument Arches 4-1/2" long

I acquired this spoon from an estate sale.

The spoon is topped with a crest depicting the monument arches that were dedicated to the opening of the Rogers Pass on July 30th, 1962 in Glacier National park, British Columbia, Canada . The words "Rogers Pass BC Canada" appear in gold on the green and blue crest. The rear of the spoon shaft is stamped "Japan".

The spoon measures 4-1/2 inches (11.5 cm) long X 15/16 inch (2.3 cm) wide (At the widest part of the spoon bowl) and weighs 10 gr.

The spoon is in fair condition with a few light scratches and light tarnish. The bowl of the spoon has lots of little pitting on the front and rear. The crest is mounted crooked. (See pictures).

From the Wikipedia:

Rogers Pass:

Rogers Pass (elevation 1,330 m or 4,360 ft) is a high mountain pass through the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia used by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Trans-Canada Highway. The pass is a shortcut across the "Big Bend" of the Columbia River from Revelstoke on the west to Donald, near Golden, on the east. The pass was discovered on May 29, 1881, by Major Albert Bowman Rogers, a surveyor working for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Rogers Pass is in the heart of Glacier National Park, in the midst of mountains popular for ski mountaineering, camping, hiking and mountain climbing ever since the region became accessible in 1886. The location has tourist services including the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre, a hotel and National Park services. Rogers Pass is commemorated as a National Historic Site of Canada.

The spoon is stored in a baggie and will be shipped in the baggie, in a padded envelope.

Of course, as always, I combine shipping and all stated postage includes free insurance.
