<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 100273, member: 111"]Hey, Susan, she doesn't look familiar to me, and agree that not all figural twist-handle spoons are apostle spoons - not at home right now, but can look through Rainwater's 'Spoons Around the World ' later. She does look Hindu to me, with a bindi on her forehead - no idea on the nekkid boobies, but not unusual to to see Indian deities so exposed, though she doesn't look like a goddess to me... Closest thing found in quick online search: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/245258004/vintage-3-unusual-apostle-spoons?ref=market" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/245258004/vintage-3-unusual-apostle-spoons?ref=market" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/245258004/vintage-3-unusual-apostle-spoons?ref=market</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Just a quick note on the expansive Spoon Planet/Museum site, which often only shows partial pictures and rarely shows marks - it has a number of inaccuracies, though there seems to have been a few corrections and updates added recently. As an example, on the 'Apostle Spoons' page, while now acknowledging Hanau silver on a separate link, the third spoon is described as 'Augsberg', but more likely bears Hanau pseudo-marks, the 'simulated British marks' are more likely typical British import marks, and the 'handworked' bowl appears to be of the usual cast variety - but since the pics are so limited, only supposition on my part...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
