Handcarved Old Wooden Spoon with Heart Shaped Cutout Handle silver-plate I think it might haveIn researching this lovely little spoon, I found only one very similar one, which sold on Ebay for $99! I am not asking that, but I do think it is quite a special thing! That one was described as an anniversary spoon, and I would guess was once a prized possession and it would certainly make a wonderful anniversary gift now! I would probably hang it on the wall, though it could certainly be used, perhaps for serving decadent chocolate covered treats!
