I have 2 silver spoons both are 4 1/4" with a crown on the end of the handle and the word ROLEX underneath and the word BUCHERER, in the bowl of the spoon is a full bodied lion with a cross, the back on the handle BUCHERER OF SWITZERLAND and numbers CB 69 M on the back end, any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

Could you be using the term 'silver' a bit optimistically or is there a fineness mark such as '800' on the article?
'CB' is the Bucherer mark; I don't know what the '69' and 'M' represent. The presence of 'Rolex' reminds me of having read somewhere that at one time spoons were left in hotel rooms as promotional material. A joint effort of Bucherer and the always heavily promotional Rolex watch outfit seems plausible.

Thank for responding, I'm not an expert, but used the term silver because of the color and tarnishing, no there isn't any fineness marking on the spoons. But do appreciate you looking into this for me, thanks again.
