<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 207632, member: 44"]I know this spoon has already been IDed, but thought I'd add that I bought a similar souvenir spoon in Amsterdam in 1964. It also is 3" long with the same bowl and very very similar handle. The finials are different. Mine has a tiny pair of delft clog shoes. It is silver with the Dutch sword hallmark and a maker's mark. I don't know if the silver purity is .835 or .925 for can't read the number on the tiny sword hallmark.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I heartily agree. Seems like the last 30 to 40 years typical souvenir spoons like these are now silvertone with no actual silver content or may be pewter. Once in awhile one might luck into a silverplate one.
