Featured Silver sugar or salt Spoon ...... not from around here..

It fell out of a box I was handling...
I don't remember where it came from... but may have been an early secret Santa ....?
around 4 inches long....
I could polish it to bring out the makers mark......but isn't the silver mark that known sword shape ??

Wild Rose........but not in English !!
.

 

Looks like a Dutch silver mark. Here’s more info.
The DE may be for Douwe Egbert.

mustard spoon...... hummmm..



I completely missed the D E on the back !!!!

Thank you !

 

It's a tea spoon
Douwe Egberts is a Dutch coffee brand, and with each package you get points. If you have enough points, you can order coffee/tea related items https://www.de.nl/spaarprogramma/spaarcollectie/
The spoons are usually silverplate.
If I'm not mistaken one of the local thrift shops here has that one for 0.50 EUR

 

The wild rose spoon was part of this collection:

ok......weird that I have this,,,,,, so why is my spoon marked on the front with different marks than the plated ones..?

 

There seem to have been different versions.
This one doesn't have the name of the flower:

I'm unable to see what's written in that smaller mark of yours. (The HH mark is for the maker Hooijkaas)

 

Good news..
There's also a .835 version, and that seems to have the same mark as yours

And now that I've seen that there's a .835 version, I think I am able to read 835 in that smaller mark of yours. That 5 looked like an upide down S, so I thought the pic was upside down, with that 3 being an E

 

Believe Hooijkaas started producing these premiums for Douwe Egberts in the mid 20th century, thought I'd share the origin of the designs.
