I AM GUESSING THAT IT IS A MEASURING SPOON OF SOME KIND DUE TO THE LINES IN THE BOWL AND THE LITTLE LIPS ON THE OUTSIDE POSSIBLY FOR POURING. IN 1893 THE THREE TOWERS MARK BECAME THE NATIONAL MARK FOR DENMARK, THIS MARK GUARANTEES A SILVER PURITY OF 826/100.  THE THREE TOWERS MARK IS ON THE BACK OF THE SPOON WITH THE NUMBERS 18 UNDERNEATH WHICH IS THE DATE 1918.  THERE IS A V SUPERIMPOSED OVER A N WHICH COULD REPRESENT THE MAKER VILHELM NIELSEN 1914-1937 . THERE IS ALSO THE WORK SKAGEN  IN SCRIPT WITH A SMALL HALLMARK BEFORE THE WORD THAT I CANNOT MAKE OUT. THE SCALLOPED TOP OF THE SPOON HAS THE WORD SKAGEN AGAIN OVER THE SAND ENGULFED OLD BURIED CHURCH AND THE HANDLE HAS THE SKAGEN LIGHTHOUSE. I AM FASCINATED BY THIS SPOON AND SO FAR I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ITS PURPOSE IF IT HAD A SPECIFIC ONE. IF YOU ARE THE BUYER PLEASE INFORM ME AFTER YOUR PURCHASE  OR IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE SPOON ,PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN ADD IT TO MY DESCRIPTION. IT IS 6 1/2 INCHES LONG AND THE BOWL IS 2 1/4 INCHES BY 1 1/2 INCHES AT THE WIDEST POINT. IF YOU HOLD THE HANDLE STRAIGHT OUT THE BOWL TIPS UP. Place a Bid!
