Almost managed to complete my spoon collection by perusing thrift stores (infosec.pub)

Wanted to share from some of my thrifting results. I've been trying to complete my cutlery set from a series called "Rosen" from a department store, Åhléns, in Sweden. It's from the 1970's, and was produced up until the early 2000's. I've been going to thrift stores, made swaps with friends and and acquaintances, and their families and acquaintances, and received some items as a gift. The latest spoon, the serving spoon, was found online through Tradera, an eBay-like platform in Sweden. I am still missing a salt spoon as far as I know.

Left to right:

  • Mocca spoon
  • Coffe spoon
  • Tea spoon
  • Dessert spoon
  • Latte spoon
  • Compot/drink spoon
  • Tablespoon
  • Serving spoon

They all get used on a daily or weekly basis. Currently using a small silver spoon as a salt spoon until I can get my hands on a Rosen salt spoon.

What’s next: forks?

That is even less interesting than the spoons. I only have five different forks, six if I count a forked serving spoon. Still on the lookout for more of the different forks.
