dates back to Span. American war
Hello, I don't know the history of this company but I have a silver plated old spoon with j.dolfinger & co. stamped on the back of it. Maybe they were retailers.

I have very old necklace stamped 356 also with a Crown stamped also.
Not sure what the 2 means. But real silver will have a .925 stamp.
If the spoon is sterling or pure silver it should be marked as so. Also a manufacturer mark should be on the spoon. A silver spoon could be worth $5 in metal alone. Now add that it is a spoon, has a theme and depending on the manufacturer and craftsmanship the price is going up. Also just in case it could be folk art and is a hand made one time piece of craft without a mark of any sort the price could go up. My guess is that a tourist plated piece could go for $15. Silver could go for $20 to $50 and folk art however much someone is willing to pay.
The US Mint did not issue an 1896 nickel with an "S" stamped on it. If you have one then it would seem as though someone stamped the coin sometime after it left the mint. Also please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All US nickels except special "war nickels" made during 1942-45 are struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
its a minimum of 16 years old.
It should be stamped on the barrel It should be stamped on the barrel
spoon
This is a runcible spoon it's strongly resembles today's spork
It is electroplated onto nickel-silver blanks.In a solution of silver nitrate an electric charge is passed from a silver cathode to the anode to which the spoon blank is attached. This transfers silver from the silver cathode through the solution to the spoon.
Beat them with a wooden spoon
