 
Vintage Silver Plated Souvenir Spoon St Augustine Florida FL - Old City Gate -Made in Holland, GERO Georg Nilsson
Very nice vintage souvenir spoon of St Augustine Florida made in Holland. The spoon has an image of the Old City Gate on the top of the handle and is marked "GN GERO 90 Made in Holland". "90" is a quality mark indicating that 90 grams of silver were used to plate 12 spoons and 12 forks. GN is the mark of designer Georg Nilsson. Georg Nilsson worked with Georg Jensen and was the designer working for the Danish Gero factory in Copenhagen until its closure in 1933 due to the world economic situation. He left Denmark and remained working as one of the main designers with the Gero factory in Zeist until his retirement in 1954.
The spoon measures 5" long and is in excellent condition with only light wear. I'm not quite sure of when this spoon was made but I believe it was manufactured before WWII.
