Spoon Information

Hey all, just wondering if anyone on the forum knows anything about collectible australian spoons?
Sorry about the photos, had to use a different camera this time..



Says "Made In Australia" in case it's not clear enough

My missus used to design these things, but sadly they were never my thing. Perhaps I can make some enquiries if nobody else can help though.

Thanks mate, I don't think it is silver as I can't see any markings anywhere.. If you need anything else answered all I can say is that it's a prospector panning for the elusive..

Although the picture is blurred, it looks to me like a souvenir spoon from Sovereign Hill, the old fashioned Gold town at Ballarat Victoria.   Judging by the colour, looks like it is bronze or something like that.

I've just taken some clearer piccies now that I've got the good camera back but now I'm having trouble uploading them..

Goldseeker- The bronze colour is probably from the lighting that I had last night, it looks silver if anything but once I get the photos uploaded I will let you be the judge. I may have found a silver marking on the spoon but not sure yet, if it is one it is pretty worn down..

If the mark, known as a "hall mark", could prove the difference in its worth of a few cents to several dollars......wish you luck.
