New Teaspoon Advice Please

[Hugo a Gogo]

there once was a stirrer called Bob
with a spoon hanging out of his gob
a fork in one ear
a ladle stuck up his rear
and a tea caddy tied to his nob

The show IN Limerick, you 'tard!

I would hold on to your money. That bubble has burst already. Word is that when next week's Antiques Roadshow was being filmed, some gump from the Daily Mail was there sniffing out a non story when he saw someone get their 1955 Dietrich Bratwurster appraised at a 4 figure sum, he immediately made that into a "close to 5 figures!!!" headline in the "sidebar of shame" and its already been all over the Facebook pages of those in the know. You won't get one for under £2,000 now even in bad shape, a couple of months back maybe under £100 was achievable as there was no perceived value in them.

Far, far better I suspect to keep one eye open at night on the price of butter knives, tea caddies and those little earthenware blackbirds you stick in the middle of a chicken pie.

[Blib]

I have four and twenty of those.

I have a butter knife passed down from my granddad. he was the first owner from new. have the original bill of sale but no service history ( he was an engineer so self serviced ). it has seen plenty of action recently ( I have a penchant for President ). do you think it is worth riding the wave on this or cash in while they are on the cusp ?

Hold on to it. Its on a cusp at the moment, the market will soon become flooded, but it will be the noveau-riche types who know the cost of everything, but the value of nothing, who are merely purchasing because they can. Maybe in 5-10 years, the true collector, appraiser or valuer will be able to advise you that you did the right thing to hold on, because they will once again be quite a scarce item and none of this year's lot will have appreciated how best to store them and condition will have taken a battering.

do you think it will be worth me passing onto a complete stranger, to put into storage at huge cost, where I don't know the location and quite possibly go missing until the receivers ring me ?

I've got that much spare fking cash and I'm a total ass wipe, I need other people to make these decisions for me.

I can give you details of my butter knife man, but don't spread it around

[Butter Face]

I like to think I'm on the cutting edge of the butter knife market, but it's been a bit dull lately and TBH it isn't as sharp as people presume!

Here it is in it's natural habitat ( on the bread board ). I've tried to capture the smooth lines of the genuine fake bone handle. Being stainless, there is no corrosion but it does have some slight marring on both sides. Fabulous patina as they say in the trade.

Anyway, more than happy to trade for a sausage fork.

this must be a scam

I'll take your Forester and give you my sausage.

Fork.

The smart money is chasing sausage hammers, not forks.

Not sure if i fancy a sausage hammer. See urban dictionary meaning -


The act of slamming a penis onto the top of someone's head. Not to be confused with a cock slap, a sausage hammer relies on downward motion (as opposed to the side to side). Very effective when used to shock or surprise someone, very degrading when used during fellatio.


Might leave that to you guys to go chasing

This is the teaspoon thread, chaps. A little dignity and discipline, please.

[Shakermaker]

Just thought it was time I shared a quick pic of my daily smoker with you guys.

Obviously it's nothing special, but it serves a purpose that other, newer spoons just can't fulfil.

It's got an excellent bowl which scoops the perfect amount of Douwe Egberts for the morning coffee, and whilst it's a little faded on the handle and chipped around the edges it still stirs beautifully.

It's equally at home measuring the coffee, mixing up a stock cube, scraping the bits out of a tin of cat food and of course it's perfect for tip runs. And every time, a quick blast with Zanussi's finest and it's good to go for another day!
