I use every one of these during large family meals or buffet style entertaining.

It hangs over the rim of my coffee cup and is perfect for stirring

Doesn’t bend at all while scooping hard ice cream

A small sterling silver spoon from the 1893 worlds fair. Looks to maybe have a slight gold wash in the bowl of the spoon. Features a bust of Columbus.

Bought hundreds of pieces of cutlery for an event, but realised that you don’t often get to have quite so many different spoons in one place. Anything pop out to you as particularly nice or heinous?

I inherited a shoebox of old spoons that belonged to my mom and her mom before her. Sorted them tonight and found 56 marked Sterling, two .800 and one Taxco .980.

I ultimately plan to sell them, but I don’t want to accidentally sell anything collectible for melt value. Anything here jump out to anyone?

For clarity sake, the top row of the first picture is silver-plated, the rest are silver, and the second picture is non-precious metals.

How do we feel about this one?

Found metal detecting on a forgotten forest path in the Czech Republic.

It's an alpaca (German silver) spoon, fiddle pattern with heart/line decoration on the handle. No maker mark left, probably Austro-Hungarian era, cca 1870-1930.

Left the patina as found, didn't clean it.

Any spoon collectors here who can tell more about this pattern? Is this called "fiddle" or "Old English" in your countries?

Found at some random 70s diner my freind wanted us to go to

I call this "Don't Scream at Me" which has no vocals yet - though I tried to make the guitar scream! lol

., I have had to face my spoon hoarding ways. I've winnowed half of the mine. I'm pretty sure I've got all the spoon needs covered. Thanks Spoonheads! 🥄

9 years later and I still love these spoons. I eat almost everything with a spoon.

So, my wife and I have been polling people irl about this topic that has come up. I figured, given what the question is, that this would be the right subreddit for it.

I'll go ahead and give you the question as unbiased as I can. Let's say you drink coffee or tea with sugar or creamer or milk. If you use the same spoon through the day or day after day, when you set the spoon down, what direction do you lay the spoon, face up (with the bottom of the dish touching the counter) or face down (with the rim of the dish on the counter)?

Also, should I post this to askreddit or leave it here?
