I like tea. And I like my tea properly stirred, not shaken.
Browsing eBay randomly the other day, I couldn't resist a proper railway teaspoon. Branded LMS, I assume it's from a dining car or station buffet. What I do know is that it's considerably older than me.
Despite this, the plating is OK, and it does the job. The bowl of the spoon is deeper than you find on modern teaspoons, and as befits a utlitary item, the metal is a good deal thicker.
All this for four quid. That's a lot of history for not much cash.

A nice spoon Phil, but that looks like a very weak and wazzy cup of tea!
I have to agree with Adrian. Not so much tea as discoloured milk.
