While going through some old kitchen items, I came across this interesting little spoon — small, slightly pointed at the end, and lined with tiny serrations along the edge. It immediately brought back memories of kitchen drawers from decades ago.
Back in the 1960s, these were quite common in many households. They were made to make eating certain fruits easier — especially ones that needed a bit of help to scoop out neatly. The sharp, ridged edge allowed you to cut right into the fruit and lift out perfect bites without needing a knife.
It’s one of those simple, clever tools that speaks to the design sense of the time — practical, durable, and made to last. Many sets came as part of a full tableware collection, often with matching handles and finishes to the rest of the silverware.
Holding one today feels like a little trip back in time — a reminder of slower mornings, simple breakfasts, and that unmistakable mid-century kitchen charm.
Did your family have these too? Or maybe you still have a few tucked away in a drawer somewhere?
