    You just got ahead of me. It is a shame, but it is not rare. I have had many over the years.

    Yup, produced in sizes from salt to serving - I have them from 1901, 1911, and 1953, even one in gilt brass with a bit of enamel...

    They were popular in Canada too, and were imported to the U.S. as well...


    From a 1911 Birks catalog:

    Yours bears proper English hallmarks - it's sterling silver.

    Those spoons really have a front and a backside.

    I wonder if the original designer was having a bit of a laugh.

    Or is it just me?
