Hello, Excellent finds 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

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?
