Featured Help with a little spoon from Denmark

Hi everyone, I wanted to see if anyone recognizes the mark on this little spoon I found today. Also, do you think this is a baby spoon, a small ladle? I like how chunky it is for it's size.

 

childs spoon.....maybe a sugar spoon.....

 

Nate, I'm thinking it may be Carl Johan Antonsen, of Odense.

If this is the correct maker:

***Antonsen wasn't born until 1947, and I'm not sure when he started working, but I don't think it could have been made before the 1970's.***

Let's check with she who must know:
@DragonflyWink what say you?


***edited to add: I must have misread that part of a Danish translation - if he wasn't BORN in 1947, he must have done something else that year! Thanks, Dragonflywink, for the correction!

 

Carl Johan Antonsen is shown working from 1943, the C. Antonsen site shows him working in the family business from 1944 - the same squarish initials can be found on pieces stamped with the company name (the spoon looks mid 20th century). Size would be helpful - bit difficult to calculate how big it might be by the relationship to a hand of unknown dimensions...

Thank you Cheryl and thank you SBSVC. The spoon is 4.5" from it's longest points. Weight is 25 grams.

 

Sugar spoon - similar jam/marmalade spoons are a bit larger...

What about a caddy spoon for tea?
