<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scentman, post: 829567, member: 11551&quot;]Thanks for the lists. I don&#039;t think it is a &#039;cocaine&#039; spoon, though - it&#039;s just a length of round wire, which would serve for &#039;dabbing&#039; a few drops of perfume onto a lady&#039;s skin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would be quite happy to think that it may have been made by a French manufacturer for export (the quality of the workmanship is exceptional), but to use 25% silver would be <i>very</i> odd for a French manufacturer, n&#039;est ce pas? And it makes no sense with the (possible) Dutch &#039;sword mark&#039;, which guaranteed a minimum 83.3% purity.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems we shall probably never know the answer to this one, unfortunately, but thanks for trying to help! I have learned a lot from this, and I think I shall buy that copy of Tardy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
