Richard Nixon Satirical Pewter Souvenir Spoon with Caricature Bust Handle
1970s · United States
Estimated value: $10–$35
This spoon was created during the Watergate scandal (1973–1974) and its immediate aftermath, a period when Richard Nixon's presidency collapsed amid constitutional crisis and public outrage. Satirical souvenir spoons and novelty political items flooded the market as Americans processed the scandal through humor and kitsch, making these pieces now-popular artifacts of 1970s counterculture and political dissent.
Value depends on metal composition (sterling vs. pewter vs. silver-plate), maker's marks, condition, and completeness — Watergate-era political novelties have modest but steady collector interest.
