    Hi can anyone help me identify this spoon, I’d like to know more about it, it’s age, origin etc.
    Thank you 524CF2A0-4A5C-40E3-87BD-C48E06388D9B.jpeg 0B142E09-4E29-4D57-9033-F9E1CEF5F77A.jpeg C4A98155-9339-4238-A4F5-07F22420C4AA.jpeg

    The first one looks like a souvenir spoon, there is lettering there that I can’t really make out. If you gave them a clean then that would help. On the other one too.

    Your first spoon looks like some kind of souvenir. A larger picture of the finial may reveal words on the upper arc.

    The second group is just too dark and too small to see the handle design. If that last is the mark, you'll need to clean it to reveal the words.

    Possibly Parthenon

    It’s hard to make out in the pictures but the handle on the second spoon says community on it

    I think it might say Knossos or Cnosses. (Greece)

    You could have fooled me!

    Assuming that it does say Community, that is an Oneida backstamp. I still can't tell from the pictures, but browse this list of Community patterns.

    Very similar, but unlikely the Seller put much thought into the description of an American Indian in Greece. :hilarious:
