      Hi! Beautiful and interesting old spoon!

      I don't think they drank cocktails then :-)

      I think it is for eating porridge/oatmeal, horn doesn't conduct heat, and was used too for baby spoons.

      Initials seems to be A D in cursive!

      thanks guys! my great uncle was arthur drury.
      couldnt see it myself but on further investigation i agree.
      i think they may be made of celuloid.

      Not celluloïd, this is around mid 18oo's, natural horn :-)
