HAL vintage tea/coffee spoons

[VermeulT]

Can anyone help me date these?  I know the three on the left are from HAL.  the 4th, I'm not sure about.  and on all of them I'm not sure of the date(s).  Both my parents went back and forth from the Netherlands to NY many times in the mid-late 50's and 60's.

Is it stamped 835 on the back? This is on ebay in very poor shape for $50. No date..

Dutch 835 Silver SS Rotterdam Cruise Ship Souvenir Spoon

 

Measures 4 3/4"

Weighs 16 grams

Plans to constuct this ship were put off due to WWII. When economic conditions improved

construction of the SS Rotterdam began in early 1954. This ship was christened and launched in 1958. 

It was the beginning of the end of ocean liners so the designers

created a ground breaking vessell that could be converted to cruising.

Cruise Ship for Holland America.

The spoon is 835 Silver.

Very nice condition.

The 3 on the right are ss. Rotterdam, ss Statendam and ss Nieuw Amsterdam. I have them too. I received them as a present from Holland Amerika Lijn Rotterdam between 1962 and 1965.

When was the last time that any of us were provided a small coffee spoon on a HAL ship?  Something that has disappeared.

Last time I used one was on Veendam during her Bermuda series in 2010. 

 

I'm pretty sure what was left in the inventory wound up in a few pockets, then onto eBay ... 😵

 

But that's just my theory.
