BUNNY I NEED YOU! Can you identify these spoons??? (none of them are runcible)

[smetchie]

My husband got a big box of stuff from his grandfather's attic which included a hodge podge of silver. There are 3 spoon-type utensils that I don't recognize. All are teaspoonish sized.

I want this to be an Absinthe spoon but I'm pretty sure it isn't because they were Baptists. Olive spoon maybe? Something for loose tea?

This one was hard to get a picture of. It has an odd shovel-type bowl.

[image error]

I have no idea about this last one. The loop thingy fits perfectly on your finger.

[Sally, la reina]

That last one is pretty.

I thought this was going to be this kind of thread:

[smetchie]

ew.

[RandomAnthony]

That are cool spoons. The first spoon has holes...why? And I love the third spoon. I would love to pull that one at work or something and pretend I was fashionable.

[Kevin]

Russell Brand uses one like the third one when he visits Keith Richards

[Kevin]

as for sally's spoon, it goes the other way around

Wait ... what?

[Kevin]

guy watching two girls spoon :)

[Félix]

Oh. Right.

[Sally, la reina]

I had the exact same reaction as Larry. I had absolutely no idea why those two little men facing east instead of west would somehow be better in Kevin's mind.

Especially as I am right now imagining Kevin in his bathtub drawing on the walls in colored sea salts from BB&B.

[Félix]

Bubble bath?

[Sally, la reina]

I'm sorry, but that is all the thinking I'm going to do about Kevin and his bath tonight.

[Félix]

Such wisdom.

[Sally, la reina]

Bed Bath and Beyond?

[Félix]

Bed Bath and Beyond the Pale.

[Angie]

The only thing I've seen the little finger loop on were candle-holders. Maybe the third is some sort of candle holder?

[Félix]

It's a fancy heroin cooker, I think.

[Sally, la reina]

I think it has to do with heating oils over candles for massages.

[Angie]

Or maybe shooting peas at the dinner table?

[Sandi]

How big are they? I can't tell from the pics.

teaspoon size

[Jaimie]

The shovel spoon is actually a shovel a brownie must have left at your hub's grandfather's house when they were helping him do some gardening.

[Lori]

Yep, I bet the last one is for laudanum! Hallelujah!

[Sally, la reina]

I love how the thread title summons Bunny and she saves the day almost immediately.

I ♥ Bun.

[smetchie]

Yay! Bunny! The 2nd one is teaspoon size. too big for salt. That one is KILLING me! I'm going to give my kids their medicine from that silver spoon from now on. Maybe it will taste better that way.

Second one is probably a salt shovel.

Last one, I dunno, maybe..."

Hmm... assumed the first one was a citrus spoon. I waited for Bun's response, though, cuz she's always right about stuff, it seems.

[Kevin]

maybe the second one was once a regular spoon that comes from the Uri Geller collection

[Félix]

I haven't thought about Uri Geller in a long time.

[Sarah]

He's thought about you.

[Félix]

hehe yeah no doubt

[Sally, la reina]

Lets go back to talking about those icky little men spooning some more. That entertained me.

[Félix]

I think the one on the left is a woman.

[RandomAnthony]

The head is male, right? But the body female?

That reminds me, Sally, have you been to the Denver Art Museum since the renovation? I visited a couple years ago...very cool.
