John Norie Caddy Spoon Collection John Norie, who passed away last year, was the esteemed collector of caddy spoons. He was a founder member and honorary life president of the Society of Caddy Spoon Collectors and author of the superb book "Caddy Spoons: An Illustrated Guide" and the follow-up supplement.. All of the caddy spoons listed below were bought from the second and final part of the John Norie Collection of Caddy Spoons sale at Woolley & Wallis Salerooms on 28th July 2004. Please click here for a review of the July Norie Sale. All the spoons therefore come with this excellent provenance and the majority on sale are the actual examples illustrated in "Caddy Spoons: An Illustrated Guide". It is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own the actual spoon photographed for the definitive book on the subject. We have taken special care to not clean any items and they are sold as found in the collection. You will even note the same tarnished areas on some items as seen in the book! Some of the lots still retain their reference labels referring to the relevant plate in the book. Of the large stock of caddy spoons available we have a good cross-section of styles available with novelties ( jockey caps, leaf and flower forms), very attractive London made bright-cut examples, unusual Birmingham spoons (including Matthew Boulton, Joseph Wilmore & Joseph Taylor), most members of the Bateman family (including three by Hester and one by the ultra rare PB/IB), early Sheffield, York, Exeter and Irish. ALL ITEMS ARE NOW SOLD - please click here to see other caddy spoons that we are currently offering. Please click on the image of any spoon that may interest you for more images and further information. If you have the Caddy Spoons book by Norie you can refer to the relevant plate as shown.
