Dutch Boy Paints Promotional Spoons

This item consists of a pair of identical promotional spoons featuring the iconic Dutch Boy logo. Each spoon is crafted from what appears to be pewter or a similar pot metal, exhibiting a matte, silvery-gray finish with a slightly aged patina. They measure approximately 4-5 inches in length. The most prominent feature is the elaborately cast figure of the 'Dutch Boy' character, seated in a circular frame at the top of the handle. He is depicted wearing a traditional cap and overalls, holding a paint can in one hand and pointing upwards with the other, a common pose associated with the brand's mascot. His facial features and clothing details are well-defined, indicating a good quality casting. The handle transitions from the Dutch Boy figure to a textured, ridged section, resembling a paintbrush or whisk, before flowing into the bowl of the spoon. The spoon bowls are not designed for eating, but rather serve as a canvas for embossed text: 'SINCE 1907 Dutch Boy PAINTS', surrounded by small circular indentations, possibly simulating paint splatters or decorative dots. The 'SINCE 1907' detail provides a clear historical reference for the brand. The overall construction is solid, and the items appear to be in good vintage condition with no visible damage, significant wear, or repairs. The consistent finish across both spoons suggests they have been kept together. These spoons are likely promotional items or collector's memorabilia RATHER than functional cutlery, designed to advertise the Dutch Boy Paints brand, possibly from the mid to late 20th century given their style and material.
