Cereal spoon

Crafted from real antique silverware, this spoon from Sugar O Honey Honey is hand-stamped with "Cereal Killer," ransom-note style. Since they are antique, the company cautions: "No two are alike and none will ever be 'perfect' as each is a bit of artistic endeavor. I work with vintage silver and the handle styles vary. The pieces will not look new, they will look loved. Each is in very good condition, freshly cleaned and polished, but will show a little bit of wear from the years that they have aged."
