I have a little souvenir spoon with an emblem on the end that I would appreciate help identifying. I don't know the maker of the spoon, all it says on the back is "MADE IN SWEDEN" and "SILVER PLATE."

A search of the web turned up two other spoons like it, that is, the same basic spoon with a different emblem, which suggests these are part of a set (duhhh); however, no one else knows the maker, either, or has this particular one. Of the two I found, one shows an image of a Queen (woman's head with crown), the other is said to be the coat of arms of the city of Sczcecin, Poland (eagle's head with crown). Even if I don't uncover the spoon's maker, I'd appreciate knowing what the emblem on my spoon represents, if possible.

Your spoon bears the Göteborg city coat of arms, hard to say without seeing them, but would suspect that the other spoons you've seen are more likely to also bear the coats of arms of Swedish cities - perhaps the 'Queen' is Stockholm's coat of arms with St Erik, and the crowned eagle's head is for Malmö...

Thank you so much for identifying the emblem. I might never have figured it out.

For obvious reasons I can't lift the images of the two other spoons from another site or even link to the site, which is commercial. I drew the images below by tracing them on a piece of paper held up to my computer screen, so they're terribly crude, but I think they convey what the images are:

Well, duhh. After posting the above, it occurred to me to do a web search for the emblems of Stockholm and Malmö, and yes, that is indeed what they are. Thank you, again!!
