Welcome aboard Bjmerck, thanks for posting this - great finds!

I'd like to use this typing opportunity to ask for a new forum somewhere - related to sterling dinnerware finds.

Nice unusual find. Food pushers were used to help young eaters learning to feed themselves to push food onto their forks. I guess the idea was that it was easier than using a knife for that purpose. Sterling infant spoons are more commonly seen. I bought a dozen sterling Reed & Barton infant spoons from the factory store 25 or so years ago when silver was cheap as gifts for best friends having babies. Just gave the last one this summer to our first grandson!

Good forum suggestion also by DeepseekerADS.

Sorry will put in diff forum

I don't think there was anything wrong with your posting. I believe that Deepseeker was suggesting a permanent forum where such items could be posted in a single place in the future. And it is a good idea, IMO.

When it comes to sterling flatware it kinda all depends on who produced it and if there's someone who is desperately looking for a missing piece to complete a set. Here are some recent ones sold on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...id=7022353435&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_fsrp=1 I'm thinking also the value may not all be tied to specific patterns and makers, as there could also be some collectors of antique food pusher's, who are focused of obtaining a variety of such utensils? I see prices going from $10. to the $90 dollar range on a single sterling silver food pusher.
