From left to right:
A massive hand-carved ladle. Wonderful piece I am lucky to have that one. Next is a smaller version with tooled decoration known as "Jacobs Ladder". The date 1772 is carved but hard to see in the image. Next, third from the right is a a mystery, it seems to wood but feels more like horn or bone. The carved slots, the weight, and smooth texture do not remind me of wood. The second to last is a great carved horn spoon. These were common in colonial America. The last is a hand carved scoop of some sort. I do believe it to be American.
Enjoy!
looks like the mystery spoon is a tasting spoon. Great collection!
Hi hotairfan, are you referring to the small one seen in image 2? I am not sure, you may be right, it has a rather deep bowl almost like a modern day ice cream scoop. Thanks for commenting!
