    Tested the silver came back rich green and looked under my microscope, so the handle is bone. But what was this? Google brings back apostle spoons, is it correct? Found at thrift store for 3$. APS.jpg APS2.jpg

    I agree,
    wiscbirddog has already proved this is not an apostle spoon.
    The silver looks like it has been planished and crudely made to fit the wood handle.

    It's weird, no clue what it is, but I know it's bone and silver. It's crude, but that's what google gave me no matter the angle.

    Looks like it was made by a historical reenactor who didn't know what they were doing.

    So you're saying I can melt it down without feeling guilty?

    I would say so. I doubt this thing has any real value as it sits.
