You can just make out the alloy firring round the rivets on my Oberpfaffenhofen. Luckly it has not had a detrimental effect on the Ivory handle. I have no plans to restore it since original examples can attract serious money, it would be crass of me to divulge the value but they are still commanding strong money.
My dream teaspoon. What I would do to get my hands on the rare 7-set in the monogrammed titanium rack! I believe the monogram in italic New Roman is the best for the discerning investor, the later Chinese version being in Times New Roman and quite frankly a poor relative as a result.

Spends all that money on a teaspoon and can't be arsed to buy a tin of creosote for his table. 
Perhaps he can't afford the creosote for that very reason.I went without food for four years in order that I could afford my set of Boundook Nebraskas. I'd do the same again in a heartbeat.
Off Topic - As the dishwasher fills up so the the number of teaspoons in the drawer diminishes. As the number of teaspoons in the drawer diminishes so the likelihood of having to use the jam spoon increases. It lives in the teaspoon compartment. I am learning to loathe that jam spoon.

A jam spoon is no stable mate to the honourable teaspoon so requires separating to avoid inadvertent cross contamination or chafing.V6 Pushfit said:

A velvet slip would protect neighbouring teaspoons and maintain the mem-saab's distorted ideas of order and prevent me from seeing it in all its fluted pretentiousness. This is bordering on genius.The spoon mocks me so.

I'd go without Nandos for four years as well to afford one of those bad boys.
Pics??? Assuming it's a real one and not one of the many hilarious counterfeits.

Whilst I do possess a couple of the aforementioned spoons, I really don't get all the fuss made over them; maybe ideal for stirring a tin of creosote prior to use?I went without food for four years in order that I could afford my set of Boundook Nebraskas. I'd do the same again in a heartbeat.

Quite obviously i have the correct priority's in life,Teaspoons first and foremost. Cars, food, bills and family are an unnecessary distraction and keeping garden furniture all nice and dapper is not even on the radar. Butter Face said:
Just spotted these new in my local boutique.
These abominations are popping up regularly these days. Clearly a buyer for a big store had at one time, seen the crowds drawn to see the irridescent finish on King Olaf's famed Stirnhauser back in 1887, and found all the old news clippings.
However he obviously missed the very "Emperors New Clothes" vibe to the whole affair, the mocking that came after his death a year later, and the whole accidental reason for the finish in the first place!
t that spoon would be perfect for scooping it up, colour coordination all the way. Went to the deposit box at Coutts this morning to share with you my Hampton. Duke Richard (Dick) 'Hampton' Gussett had these crafted from the white gold teeth of the Surinam Virgins who worked as scullery maids aboard his Barque. Not one to forsake beauty for cost, he paid for each to have wood replacement teeth treated with bitumen to prevent rotting. The spoon was cast and hammered to the perfect finish you see today by midget orphans working 25 hour days for a year using the leather from british army boots to burnish the finished product.
Lost for decades, it had been stolen in 1867 when Gussett Towers was ransacked by locals furious at rent increases, and found recently by a publican in his grandmothers lederhausen. The story continues with a legal claim form the Surinamese, the mysterious death of the publican, a pelican, and the carpet bombing of a small island.

I don't want to go all "Emperor's new clothes" here but that's a plastic spoon and they cost 1p each. Someone has done you like a kipper, or to coin a more apt phrase "Slipped you a Krugel in a box of Wilburst Stohks"Lost for decades, it had been stolen in 1867 when Gussett Towers was ransacked by locals furious at rent increases, and found recently by a publican in his grandmothers lederhausen.

It’s white gold I tell thee. In fact there was a TV series recently about it, entitled White Gold.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
