Founded and managed by Chester Shepard in Massachusetts, Shepard Manufacturing Company was known for producing over 100 varieties of souvenir spoons as well as napkin rings and other flatware-related articles. Chester Shepard died in 1902 and the business was continued by his son Chester B. Shepard. Their factory closed in 1923. Please feel free to ask us any questions, and please see our other listings.
