Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 07-22-2003 11:37 AM Here is an interesting Shiebler coffee spoon. The handle is enameled with a stacked cipher of CMO or OMC. The bowl is deeply engraved "XIX", and the back is inscribed "Nov. 19th 1896." I wondered if the date had anything to do with XIX, since that's the Roman numeral for 19. Can anybody throw light on this spoon? I thought perhaps it was custom made for some kind of convention/event, or custom made for CMO's (or OCM's) 19th birthday which was on Nov. 19 1896 (that might be a stretch ). IP: Logged
Cheryl and Richard Posts: 154 Registered: May 99	posted 07-23-2003 07:45 PM Paul, that is way cool! For some reason it suggests a private club (the Old Men's Club?); perhaps a souvenir of a dinner to celebrate the 19th anniversary. IP: Logged

Roof. 1913 lists the following: quote: "The XIX Club, of Chillicothe, was organized in 1893 at the home of Mrs. Reuben Barney, Jr., with twelve charter members. This was the first literary club organized in Chillicothe and began the study of English literature. The members are now taking their third course in English. The club has a membership of thirty. Mrs. P. W. Hartman is president of the club." Patrick IP: Logged
