Nice. Offset RH grip by the looks of it.

Not worth much (you know that) but a great daily without a doubt.

I note that Bonhams have the Liechtenstein Auction coming up with some fine Prussian 'thrusters' rumoured to be amongst the lots. Possibly too rich for my pockets, but tempting for anyone who is buying anything other than Krupps.

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!

One for the council thread!!!
Pah! Douwe Egberts? Nescafe Chilled Milk drink or GTFO!!


What a horrible old shed, I prefer cruising around in my Texan Big Ol Brawler

Oh absolutely, it's got no monetary value but it's just so darn useful I can't bear to replace it until it has been run into the ground.

And with that, I'm not worried about those (fortunately infrequent) trips to the bin when you're scraping the bits from the cafetière or when it doesn't sit flush in the cutlery drawer.

You deserve the runs! Separate utensils for different duties, if you please!

Received more storage space as a present. Going to be great because I can buy anything at an auction and not worry about it. So glad the GF is so understanding of my hobby and isn't one of those so called snobs who are actually uneducated plebs who turn their noses up at the fine art of teaspoonage

Yet another Krupp, Hoffenstoller. This one has the dual return flange.

To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed as I had been dropping hints about a Schnable 2043b.

Oh well, there's always my birthday next month.

I posted this previously, but pea roasted for those for an interest in such things.

A notice has gone up in the kitcenette areas at work advising of a Teaspoon amnesty. Supposedly, a hundred or so new teaspoons were purchashed just before Christmas, but already, we are down to just a bare few as people hang on to them and keep them in their desks for eating their yoghurt or cereal, or whatever they are choosing to eat, but don't then return the spoon to go in the dishwasher at the end of the day.

what we need, is a selection of teaspoons that are suitable only for making hot beverages, but are perhaps impactical to use for eating with. Suggestions?
