    These are souvenir spoons. Mostly bought by tourist. If I'm correct these were made all around the world because they were/are collectable. My experience is that the collector marker for these is dying out. Yours look Scandinavian? (at least one of them).

    Although most of these are silver plate, or even chrome plate or steel, it is worthwhile checking spoon collections carefully for silver ones and/or those with real age that have interesting enamel crests.

    But most souvenir spoons have very little (if any) value.

    Seconded. These look like they come from the end of the era, but the real silver ones can still be worth money. American ones that predate WWI are generally worth more than melt weight, and the location or occasion can jack the values up. The chrome ones are worth little to nothing in my area. They're only wanted for little girls playing tea party.

    Sterling collector spoons still sell for me on eBay, I just have to get them at a good price. I stay away from silver plate, I have a hard time selling those.

    Silverplate is dead in the water here.

    The only time I can sell silver plate flatware is when I sell it to a guy at the flea who makes into jewelry. I can't sell any silver plate hollow ware, it just sits.
