Help with info on Dug Blade and Spoon?!

[jrlowe]

I dug these two items in the same yard.

I have two questions.

1. Why do you think this old spoon is curled up like it is and found this way?
2. Is this blade an old bread knife bread blade or something older?

I know this post is not that interesting but it is to me


Thank you!

John

As far as the spoon goes it looks like a mower got it a time or ten. Still neat finds

Cool finds
I agree with savant365's great ID.
Can you make out any markings on the spoon?

Mr. Lowe, all post's are interesting! And yours is no exception. You've asked questions that alot of other people may have wondered about and now they know....Always ask lots of questions partner!

I think the spoon was a silverplated spoon. Can you read maker? You did a good job not breaking the spoon when straightening

Yeah, that's a mystery JR. Mowers and rototillers, and bulldozers do strange things sometimes. It does look intentional though, particularly if you haven't found any gashes or other heavy hits on the curled part of the spoon. My guess is that it's a jury-rig one time deal to pour something to an inaccessable spot on something, maybe to channel oil, or even melted babbit to a bearing. After seeing your relic I think next time I can't find a small funnel I may bend the bejeases out of a spoon and give it a try. it looks like it would work.

Thanks.

The spoon has a W mark and also says silverplate.

Yes, Reciprocating saw blade.

As for the spoon, I've tasted cooking that would do that to a spoon

I agree with everyone else. Time for a green check.
