Anyone ever purchase new spoons from Sutton Spoons? 
They are still in business and selling newly plated spoons - wondering if anyone has ever either ordered over the phone from them or went into their shop.

yes its always fun to go back in time and get some new spoons at that store every few years.

Yeah I tried to ask them if I could order 100 spoons from them.  They basically said no, we cant do that.  Just kinda put off by the situation since they spend so much time trying to fundraise for their building that is falling apart.  Like maybe try selling some stuff?

Did you think to ask just how many you could buy at one time? Do they make different color and size spoons, or do you want 100 of the same spoon? About 25 years fishing on Lake Michigan and found a small crankbait that caught Coho in the spring. I had a friend who was the hardware manager and bought stuff for me at a discount if I bought enough of them. We had been buying a few at a time and were getting a little too costly, even when we bought a few of each color. They were called Great Lakes Crankbaits, and I liked 4 colors, so I asked what he could get me 200 hundred at a good price. A couple of days later, he gave me a price of 250.00 for each hundred. I had him order them for 500.00 plus tax.

I asked for 2 or 3 different sizes and they stated "not able to accommodate your request at this time" with no explanation.  Then I asked how many they could do and haven't gotten back to me for a week.  
Locally we have so many places basically begging for business - just one of those things that irked me for some reason.  If you are going to ask for 100k to fix your building, how about actually do business.

https://elmerhinckley.com/ take a look here.  Skateman here on l o u prefers Elmer Hinckley trolling spoons better than Suttons. Plating and shine  outshines the Suttons. Maybe they can handle a 100 spoon order .. dosent hurt to look into ..
