About this item
A vintage nickel silver spoon with a round bowl and a short handle, ideal for ice cream or cereal. I've hand stamped it with OLD SKOOL CHEAPSKATE & A BIT CRAP - the last phrase was added because I made a booboo and stamped a Q as the very first letter by mistake. I then tried overstamping it with the correct O and just made it look worse. But not being one to waste a spoon I carried on regardless in hopes that it might make someone else smile too. So here it is in all its slightly crap glory, consigned to the bargain bin where everything's been a fiver since I opened the shop and will continue to be a fiver until the cost of a postage stamp outstrips it. Also, I always combine all the postage no matter how many bargains fall into your basket. Just saying. Anyway this spoon is approx. 13.5cm long, that's about the length of a teaspoon, and it's 'Resilco' nickel silver alloy from probably the 1940s. The stamping dies I used are probably 1940s as well. It would make a perfect token gift for any cheapskate you know.
