As for the spoon, agree with Bear on the dating, have seen a couple of patents for similar serving spoons from the 1930s-40s - it could drain off a sauce after picking out a piece of meat or veggies, could be used as tongs for picking up a piece of meat or whatever, and could spoon up gravy, using the cover to strain out lumps. ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
