Weekend finds: Sterling spoon with inscribed date +ini. ster. ring,token etc

Found ster. cross ring and a few wheat's from teens,20s and 30s at an old house tear down. I went to a different old house today and found the 1946 inscribed ster. spoon, a token, a little pin thing with folding holders on the back and a few wheat's. Thanks for looking!

Hello, Excellent finds :icon_thumleft: The Frank Whiting spoon has a very collectible pattern on it. I found one just like it at a dump site and it sold on ebay above the silver content value. Thanks for sharing! Paul :coffee2:

The pin that looks like a triangular pennant is most likely a Registered Nurse's pin from a nursing school. The lamp shown on the pin is the "lamp of knowledge". It would be interesting to research the school. My eyes ain't what they used to be. I can read "alumni" but what was the school name underneath it?
