    The longest, 2nd on right, is ~5 1/2"; the short one on the left, marked France, is perhaps plastic but shows tool marks on the sides of the handle, an' the tip of the bowl is slightly irregular. It's ~4 1/16" long. The 2nd, 3rd an' 4th from the left (2 & 3 are a pair) all have shallow scoops on the backside ends of their handles (pic 3). All but the French one appear to be fine-grained bone rather than ivory.
    Are they marrow spoons...or? My lady, born in Germany, uses MOP spoons about the same size for soft-boiled eggs, but I doubt these were made for that. What do y'all see? Thanks for lookin'!
