My mother had a spoon just like that.  It was for measuring coffee for her percolator.

I am going to take a wild guess and say it was to measure coffee grounds for a percolator......

My mother had a spoon like that and I remember her using it for measuring coffee for the perculator.

I asked my 93 year young Aunt and she said the very small spoons were used for honey to put in tea and the larger ones were used to measure coffee. 

I love them and wish I could find them now....maybe I will look on ebay.

@Kachina624  I have no clue about the spoon. Just stopping by to say, that is one cool looking spoon Woman Very Happy

@Bird mama. It's one strange-looking spoon that's for sure.  I tend to go with the coffee measurer theory.  I'd love to be able to ask mom.
