During my thrifting/antiquing adventures, I pick up monogrammed flatware here and there. I have amassed quite a collection. Above is my favorite antique bird-topped spooner. 
The spoons that hang from it are grapefruit/orange spoons with a pretty monogram. 
Collection of serving forks - cold meat serving fork, dessert forks, olive or pickle forks. 
Some monogrammed with single letter, some have 3 letter monograms. 
This is one of my favorite pieces.
A bread saw, with a pretty pattern, and monogrammed LB.
The engraving runs all the way down the blade. Linked up to Silver Sunday, hosted by Gypsy Fish Journal.
I love all this flatware but what has really caught my attention is the 'spooner' i've never seen anything quite like it.. in fact even the term is foreign too me.. hahaha.. I wonder if it is just me or if we don't use that term in Australia.. well thanks for the new discovery .. i'm off to research it.. Take care . Julie

What a charming group of silver flatware. I love to see old monograms and engraving on these treasures. In this day of mass produced items these old pieces give me a thrill. Love the spooner and the bread saw. Thanks for sharing these lovely pieces. ~ Sarah

Ahhh...you have some pretty pieces! I don't collect the monogrammed silver (but I might start :) but I do collect monogrammed hankies and use them as bread basket liners and napkins. Happy belated Silver Sunday.
