I think the symbol may indicate the city of origin. That seems to be a practice for old silversmiths / metal crafters.

That, or a family crest. Yes.

Edit: Specifically, N/E German & Poland areas is strong indicator for that symbology and time.

I though it might be useful to enumerate all the meanings of Gewinnspiel:

http://www.dict.cc/german-english/Gewinnspiel.html

Gewinnspiel {n}
contest
raffle
sweepstake
competition
lottery
prize game

The other question is the meaning of König (eng. King). I'm leaning toward the brand name or advertising/promotional theory. If it was supposed to stand for Royal or King's, the adjective Königlich would have been used.

But IF it were a price in a Royal lottery, perhaps a scheme to raise money to pay for some war :).

Rew says

Ok, it could be Polish too I suppose. I'm no expert, but everything I see screams German to me. ;)

You can test to see if it's German. Just place it next to some other spoons and see if it tries to annex them.

I'm agreeing with Rew on the 12, as well as its meaning. Look at it carefully.

If that piece of paper is 8.5 X 11, that's a pretty big spoon. Makes me wonder if the King's Game was an eating competition.

Trumps tariffs haven't been enacted yet, but it will happen eventually.

Scroll down to "Self-Reinforcing Feedback Loops",69 at that time.
"As nearly as I can distinguish, only the latter three feedback processes are reversible at a temporal scale relevant to our species. Once you pull the tab on the can of beer, there’s no keeping the carbon dioxide from bubbling up and out. These feedbacks are not additive, they are multiplicative: They not only reinforce within a feedback, the feedbacks also reinforce among themselves (as realized even by Business Insider on 3 October 2013)."

Sorry you believed capitalism would benefit you .

the fact that HEY YOU is balls deep in man-made climate change is reason enough to believe it to be total fucking bullshit.

MAGA ? Winning ? What are we winning anyway

Winning by avoiding answering any questions and instead, cramming fingers in ears and screaming lulululululu, as they play out their American jihad

landtof says

oh, the climate changes over time? no shit, i had no idea. what happened millions of years ago? was it too hot? too cold? too wet? too dry?

POLITICAL HOAX.

Claiming that climate change is a political hoax is as stupid as claiming that Islamic terrorism is a political hoax or that gender is a political hoax.

What do you think "they" should "do about it"?

What metrics do you use to determine what a suitable amount of people on this planet should be?

I have proposed global cap-and-trade childbirth permits.

It works like carbon credits.

Each person is allowed to have an amount of offsprings, say 0.3.

A couple will have 0.6 credits. To have a child, they have to buy 0.4 credits from the global open market.

Or they could just fuck.

Sounds like his ruse worked. Trump is playing 4D chess it seems.

How do you eat your 3D Chess set with your hands (scoffs)

From your link:

"I don't have any tape and I didn't tape. But when he found out that I, you know, that there may be tapes out there, whether it's governmental tapes or anything else, and who knows, I think his story may have changed. I mean you'll have to take a look at that, because then he has to tell what actually took place at the events.

So you'll have to do a little investigative reporting to determine that. But I don't think it will be that hard."

Are you saying that warning someone not to lie is a felony? If not, where is the felony?

Goran_K says

It's funny how republicans made Benghazi out to be Hillary firing upon U.S. marines, but Comey's testimony showing clear obstruction of justice is a "nothing burger". Oh, did I say funny? I meant hypocritical bullshit.

You know how when you're watching a porno at a stag party, and the guy in the movie takes off his pants, and then all your buddies burst out laughing and commenting about how small his dick is? You don't want to be the guy who says "What are you talking about? That guy's dick is huge. I wish I was half his size."

Now apply that to calling Trump a genius.

misread title

Tenpoundbass says

Yep, the left is upset over a pussy grabber racist being president. The right was upset at a black man being president. Equally valid reasons to be upset.

Please reference the audited information where it is shown trump actually grabbed pussy. ( not him saying so )
Please reference the audited information where it is shown trump committed racist acts. ( not rental denials to prospective clients due to insufficient income )

(AF-style) Unless Comey is free to say Trump fucked him viciously in the asshole while screaming "SAY WHAT I TELL YOU, LIBBIE CUNT!!!!" Then FREEDOM has NO MEANING!!

I have never been to a party where a guy took his pants off and started showing off his dick.

You do realize that the man in the movie isn't actually physically in the television set, right?

You right. Trumps a pathological liar. You can't trust anything he says. So maybe he was lying about women letting him grab them by the pussy. Maybe every single woman on the planet finds him repulsive and he has to marry them with no prenup to get them to sleep with him.

In any case, I don't have any problem with Trump being a pussy grabber. Bill Clinton was also a pussy grabber. If you were smarter, you'd have pointed out the hypocrisy of the left for criticizing Trump for consensual pussy grabby when Clinton's has questionably non-consensual.

When the Trump family sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They aren't appointing experienced and knowledgeable people to key cabinet positions. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

I don't watch movies where guys are showing off their dicks either.

You've never seen a heterosexual porn movie? I think you're lying.

LOL-he committed a felony. This is Rosie O'Donnell territory.

Also the bird looks like an Ibis... so it could be a sea captains set of silverware. I found that dotted style of engraving on just such a set.

Saying so makes him trash not presidential.
Surely one doesn't doubt the words of the President of the United States?
It must be so.

If he had said it on Patnet he would have gotten a 1,000 likes.

If the common man obstructed an investigation as important as the Russian one, he'd be thrown in prison immediately. No questioning. Just beaten with billy clubs and thrown in prison.

Yes, obstruction of justice is a felony and a very serious one, especially when the investigation is such a serious one. It is now known that the Russians hacked into many computers and attempted to hack into many more including state election computers. That's a lot more serious than revealing the DNC's dirty laundry. That constitutes actual tampering with an election, or at least attempted tampering.

I have no doubt that every single person, except maybe Thunderlips, who is trying to make Trump's obstruction of justice seem inconsequential, would be calling for the fire squad if Bill Clinton, Obama, or Hillary Clinton was caught doing this. They would say it is literally treason and that Bill/Obama/Hillary should be shot as a traitor. So how can you not consider the condoning of Trump's action utter hypocrisy?
