My son and I found this spoon at a yard sale in California. The spoon looks to be silver and has a sunflower at one end of the handle.  The bowl of the spoon is stamped with "Oberammergau".  Oberammergau is a town in Bavaria known for it's passion play, which began as a vow by the villagers in 1634 when God spared their village from the bubonic plague.  On the back of the flower is stamped "800" plus some other letters that I cannot make out.  I don't have a magnifying glass to see it clearly.  Other than that info, I know nothing about this spoon.  We bought it as a gift for my son's friend who collects spoons.  I thought it would be nice to include some information about the gift.  The spoon is not for sale.  I just want some info on it if possible. (Approximate age, value, etc.)

Perfect condition - only gilded border was gone, because of frequebt using.

The doll is about 20" high. Her hair is sewn onto a netting material and that is glued onto her head, quite firmly. After careful examination I can not find any country listed as origin. The numbers 7 3/4 & 154 are found just under the lower part of the wig. Further down as in picture there is a CT (?) that is written in maybe pen (?) She has beautiful brown eyes and open mouth with 4 teeth. I tried taking a picture of the numbers but they didn't come out real good. She has a little necklace on her but don't know if that came with the doll or was added by someone. Her socks and shoes can come off, I think. I don't like to pull around on her too much as she is very fragile.

The only thing I know for sure about this doll was that it did belong to my Great Aunt. She slept with this doll most of her life. [Long story :) ]

I would like to have her restored but afraid if would be very costly. Really don't know what to do. Sell her so she can be preserved or leave like she is?

This mechanical bank is roughly 8.75" x 6.25" x 3.5".  All the parts are present and in excellent working condition.  There are two very small white chips to the paint on the front edge of the bank.  Place a coin on the "tee" area and push the button behind the caddy.  The caddy raises the flag and the coin goes in for a hole in one. 

 Inside the bank at the top is a red hand-written number 3038.  It is also stamped on the side of the "Birdie Putt" shield on the front of the bank.

 I'd like to know any information available about this bank, particularly a manufacturer, and of course the value.

please help me find some information concerning this beautiful piece. This vase is for sale.
