Individual Salt Spoon
I posted on the Master Salt Spoons earlier. Here are the Individual Salt Spoons that would have been part of each place settings. They are the smallest piece of any pattern, measuring as small as 2 1/2 inches. They can be found in most patterns, especially the older ones. I think they are neat in that even in their size the intracity of the pattern in show in detail.

Luxembourg by Gorham (2 3/4 inches)
Madam Jumel by Whiting (2 3/8 inches)
Bridal Bouquet by Alvin (2 3/4 inches)

Jack and Jill by Tiffany
Jack and Jill was one the "not-full-line" patterns designed by Tiffany. There is a line based on children's stories that are found on children's flatware pieces, such as the Junior spoon, Junior Fork, Junior Knife, and Food Pusher. There are two other patterns in the series Bo Peep and Red Riding Hood. These pieces are exceptionally rare.
