How much are Charlie McCarthy silver spoons worth?
I have bought several from collectors and on-line at auction. I
have paid between $8.00 and $20.00 but I have seen them selling for
much higher than that. I have seen two spoons available. The more
common figural piece is the one showing Charlie in his regular top
hat. This was a give a way from the radio show in 1939. You sent in
ten cents and a label from the sponsor, Chase and Sanbon and you
got an actual silver plated spoon.
The second figural spoon and much harder to find is the one
commemorating Charlie's 1939 film-the Detective. This spoon has
Charlie dressed like Sherlock Holmes. This piece sells for more
than the regular spoon
