Features:

This is a very nice vintage collectible 4 1/4" souvneier spoon. The front features the Rolex crown, ROLEX, Bucherer Watches and LUCERNE. The back is marked " B 100 12". The bowl of the spoon has the lion symbol for Lucerne. There are two stories that go with these spoons one is that these spoons are given away with the purchase of a Rolex watch, the other is that major hotels in which the Bucherer stores are located gave out the silver plated Rolex spoons to hotel patrons. A marketing ploy by Bucherer to get, mostly, foreign tourists to take home a Rolex with them. The spoons are Rolex affiliated in that Rolex Geneva endorses the marketing effort by Bucherer, but Rolex money is not involved.

It is believed that these spoons were initially made of silver, then silver-plate and finally stainless steel. This spoon is either silver or silver plate as it does test out to sterling. However, the "Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks" states that the Germans developed a system for marking silver-plate which was then adopted in other European countries. The system put 2 numbers, the first indicated the amount of fine silver used and the second indicated the number of items plated. So 100 12 could indicate that 100 grams of silver was used to plate 12 items, with each getting 8.33 grams of silver. The total weight of this spoon is 13.4 grams.

The spoons have the names of different cities on them where there is a Bucherer store. The Lucerne spoon is the most common one.
