My husband and I found this spoon the other day. Anyone know how old it is or how much it's worth?
There are no other markings on it other than the swastika.

The swastika was used long before the Nazis' took it as their mark and it was a good luck symbol even here in America. With that said, the spoon likely predates WWII. As far as a value? I'd say next to a buck. (Pun intended) But, a really cool find!!!

The spoon was actually stuck in the bottom of an old cabinet that we purchased and as far as I can tell there are absolutely no other markings on it. Just wondering if I should try and clean it up or if it's better to just leave it tarnished?

Leave it tarnished. Worth what ever the buyer will pay. Check with Ebay then try pawn shops to get idea of value.
