Forest Lawn Collector Spoon

[Gary Weeks]

I have a collector spoon from Forest Lawn, Glendale California. I cannot seem t find ANY information on it.I t features Thovaldsen's 'The Christus'. The weird thing is "Thorvaldsen' is misspelled. It is spelled 'Thorvaldson'. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Forest lawn cemetery is a well known cemetery maybe something from a gift shop there.A lot of the old movie stars are buried there so it is actually a tourist attraction.And the mis-spelling could have been overlooked.

I found all that info already thanks. Forest Lawn IS a major tourist spot and has a copy of "The Christus" statuary in their gardens (where the artists name is spelled correctly on the plaque). I found different spoon from Forest Lawn that seems fairly common, But NOTHING that even comes close to this one. With the relative popularity of Forest Lawn that seems odd. To me that means it is either fake or rare, I am trying to find out which. Thanks again.

I only remember it vaguely from when I took a close friend down for his Grandmothers funeral.
