During the Second World War my family on both sides lost almost everything, so there is very little in the way of heirlooms from my side of the family. One of the things that was saved and I’m not sure of the history was this old silver serving spoon with the family initials engraved on the handle. The bowl of the spoon is dented but I’ve always loved it and when my father was cleaning out his kitchen before one of his many moves I rescued it. No one else seemed to want it.
