2 Gold Anointing spoons. Maybe from the 1930's No hallmarks visible

By selltrib, 13 March, 2009
Description

Hello

There are 2 gold spoons in all. My mum said she got them from her uncle in the 1950's. Her uncle said they he brought them in the 1930's in china. That is all that mum can remember about them. Since then they have been locked in her jewelery box and only recently found again.

We have gone to two antique details here in Australia and they have said they have no idea who or when they where made, or what value to give to them.

For pictures please see my photos here

Seems they are anointing spoons, but can't find anything else about them

Hopefully you can point us in the right direction.
Kind Regards
Natalie
