You know, perhaps the admins should add couple new areas for us to post in.... one of them being an Ebay section. Anyway ....

Well... they do look like pretty common spoons, but...
1) They're old. Some people like old things.
2) You get 15 of them... so that's under $10 each, which makes them about as expensive as modern repros.
It seems like a good price for antiques... if you really do want antiques. Some of those spoons look a little too corroded to put anywhere near one's mouth.
I decided quite a while ago that if the very cheapest antique egg glass sold for $60, I'd better just leave them to the high rollers. The absinthe itself is expensive enough for me.
I'm grateful for the fine repros by Frenchman.
