I also have a couple of the Rolex spoons that were freebies. One was in our hotel room along with Swiss chocolate in Lucerne in 1964. It is...
No, not wishful thinking, I think it is the real deal! The marks on those links look loke yours especially the shape of the star. --- Susan
After working with the maker's mark pic, I think it is "B&M" over a star. Now if it is an "n," I have seen "n" stand for "&" also. In Dutch "n"...
