    Can anyone I.D. (or verify) this spoon handle marking?

    I'm not sure what this is, or if it's even legitimate. I'd be interested in any info, including what any of you think it's worth.

    It's a Tag der Deutschen Kunst design for 1933 and again in 1937.
    Looks good to me, interesting spoon!

        Just as Dmv says: this is a piece from the set of cutlery made by P. Bruckmann & Sohne for the restaurant at the House of German Art in Munich. Created for the opening of the building in 1937, each piece included the logo of the HDK on its handle. The public restaurant at the HDK included a large terrace at the rear of the vast building for summer use, and umbrella tables were set out for leisurely dining in good weather as the diners looked across the large English Garden -- a public attraction in Munich.

        Though we can't be 100% certain without seeing the reverse of this handle, it appears that this massive set of cutlery was produced in silver plate, as is normal for restaurant ware. For further details and photos, see Jim Yannes' "The Encyclopedia of Third Reich Tableware" (Trafford Publishing, 2013, p.522-25).

        A unique and lovely piece! Cheers,

        Br. James
