<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 10504665, member: 111&quot;]I&#039;m a long-time collector of Norwegian carved wood spoons, and have spent decades wishfully looking at other Norwegian carved wood pieces like mangle boards, boxes, tankards, etc. - can tell you that it&#039;s not uncommon for dates to be carved in, and personally see no reason to doubt the age of this piece.&nbsp; Should keep in mind that, as it always is, the quality will vary by the skill of the maker - suspect the handle would be more attractive if the &#039;tail&#039; were not broken off, and the unfortunately missing thumbpiece would almost certainly be a lion, like the feet, and the naive, rather charming fellow on the lid...</p><p><br /></p><p>From Pinto&#039;s &#039;Treen and Other Wooden Bygones&#039; (1969):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]528161[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
