Hi all,

I picked up a silver spoon online as it was pretty fascinating to see - a solid silver condiment spoon, about 4" long, with both a cast Trader Vic's tiki and inscribed for the same on the reverse of the handle (pics below). I've seen (online) regular silverplate flatware with Trader Vic's name stamped on it, but never what was a custom job in sterling. There seem to be two real possibilities for it - one, it's a very deluxe souvenir spoon sold at Vic's in the 1950s or thereabouts or, two, it is part of some deluxe serving set for VIPs, as I am having a hard time imagining custom sterling silver being used for general restaurant service (as it would disappear in a flash!).

Anyone seen anything like this spoon?

Thanks,
GK
