This spoon is pictured in both Dorothy Rainwater's book "Spoons from Around the World" p.153 and my book, "Collectible Souvenir Spoons". Both of us used the Gorham spoon marked H78 for the picture. The spoon pictured below does not have the Gorham mark, but it is identical. Ms Rainwater gives information about the actual cost of manufacturing this spoon. I don't know if the version I have is a reproduction of the Gorham piece or vice versa.This spoon was also featured in an article in Silver Magazine, Mar-Apr, 1991. It is normally accompanied by the King Henry V111 spoon, but I don't have that one.
