Incuse Stamped Marked “SILVER” Spoon*

Post by Traintime »

Souvenir type. Tool and filing evidence visible and possible minute surface bubbles, so some hand work in a small shop seems possible. The star surrounded by crescent moon leaves a wide range from North Africa across to Indonesia at least. Perhaps the “V”-like structure supporting the symbols might be the tell tale for the origin…Libya? TIA

*The search engine does not have an easy time trying to isolate the related threads with items having such simple marks. You just get too many page hits since the words are so common. Thus the thread title to link them in a string.

Everything seems to suggest that the reversed crescent with a five point star being canted would have to relate to the Nation of Islam. (One Emirate is similar, but the star is upright.)
