Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Things have been crazy this year. A few months ago I picked up a large lot of items, but unfortunately most items were newer (late 80's to now). However I did find this large wooden kitchen decor spoon, with carvings on it. It looks like a mass-produced item but I'm not sure. Also unsure of the carvings on the handle - I don't know if I should call them Mic Mac carvings or if they would be another type of carving or from another group. I will include a few pictures. If anyone has any information on what these large kitchen decor items are actually called, any idea if they have any value, and what I'm most interested in: What would the carvings in the handle be?
Thank you in advance for any information and also for taking the time to read my post. It's been a while but I should have lots of time to be back on the forums and active. Hope everyone is doing well.
Thanks,
- Kevin

Finally !! Had to switch browsers !!
We had these much later than 60`s !! Of course Mother may have bought hers at a garage sale !!

I remember these from the sixties too. They were very popular.
