Message:: [QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 107213, member: 33"]Okay, thank you! That makes sense. I looked again at the pieces I have. There are 10 different things, and I haven't tried to buy more. Three different items have the number 2, which I had not noticed. However, there is a very large ladle that has a 4, though ... compared to smaller pieces, some of which have higher numbers. Another thought that occurred to me about mine, though, is that these could have been manufactured at somewhat different times. A year or so after buying the six teaspoons I originally got at an antique show, I bought a group of five of the same spoon through eBay. They are the same design, but they have a different "feel" in a way I probably can't describe well. The silver finish seems slightly different, although there could have been some polishing differences through the years. And the ones I first bought seem slightly heavier and thicker. Both sets have a number 6 stamped on each spoon, but the stamp is oriented differently in the two sets. One is stamped parallel with the orientation of the handle, and one is perpendicular.[/QUOTE]
