Title: Lead Spoon?
Post by: ironlord1963 on December 31, 2008, 08:54:37 PM

     I have come across what appears to be Lead spoon.  It bends like lead and etc.  It has a marking on the top side of the Handle that is FM 1802.  I was wandering if anyone know anything about it or where I may find information on this spoon.  I have search the net in vein and Nothing.  Thanks IronLord1963.

This is probably a wild goose chase but look at the marks for Frederick Marquand.  If this spoon is really old it could be a possibility!

Lead spoons were used primarily in Europe...until they found out that they were not healthy!  You can google "lead spoons" and see that there are many still out there for decorative purposes now!
