    There's only this one...it belongs to my Lady.
    Is the thing to the left of the Wilkens mark a book press? Also, is 800 silver correctly called 'coin'?
    Can y'all say how old the spoon is? It seems to be of a more modern pattern.
    Then, the real question is: what organization belongs to the crossed Key & Anchor, an' where? Thanks for lookin!'!

    Yes...an' if I had looked more closely I wouldn't have called it a book press. Thanks, Bakers!

    Those 2 listings are on opposite sides of the nation...wonder if one of 'em 'keyed' off the other, with the Royal Scepter?

    As far as I know, coin silver is 900.

    Or could the spoon be part of the captain's silver service?

    It is, an' I'll post it here after breakfast!
    EDIT: When I sent my Hilde the link about the logo on her spoon, she promptly responded with this comment:
    "That makes sense. My uncle Wilhelm was a captain on one of their ships and came up the Strait (of Juan de Fuca) every 3-4 months. He was generous with the giveaways."
    Hilde was born in Germany right after the war, but has lived here* since 1966 or so.
