Finnish Silver and Gold Washed Souvenir Spoon with Reindeer Sleigh

Finnish Silver and Gold Washed Souvenir Spoon with Reindeer Sleigh

This unusual silver souvenir spoon from Finland is hallmarked 813H for silver purity. It has a maker's mark (which I have yet to identify), as well as the heart with a crown which is the Finland National Mark, the town mark for Turku, and the Date code 07 for 1967. This spoon resembles a Sami or Laplander's traditional wedding spoon. In Finland, a groom would carve a wooden spoon for his bride which they would use at the wedding then hang over the door of their home. This souvenir spoon handle is embossed with a reindeer pulling a sleigh. There are 6 small rings attached to the handle. The spoon has a gold washed bowl. There is a small stain under the handle where there was a sticker of some sort. The spoon measures 4.5" long.
