them look like the bucherer geneve spoons

it really depends. if they are plated, they wont say "925" or "sterling" on them. as plate is always pure .999

however the solid sterling is what is worth melting down. if its plated, they are better off being sold on ebay as collectible. more so since you seem to have some in incredibly good condition

yeah i think they are plated. on ebay they wont use the word sterling, as that is highly illegal to misclaim silver items.
you can call it silver though

They are, it says "bucherer of switzerland" on the back and just "bucherer" on the front.

Wait
That's not Swedish.

Anyways, it also says "lucerne" on the front, which after a quick google search is a swiss city.

i think they are pure plated and not sterling.

take a magnet to em lol. silver, copper isnt magnetic.
iron,steel,cupranickel-brass would be.

plated things, it really depends what they are plated ON if its worth metling.
if its copper or a mostly copper brass, it may not be

Sadly I have no magnets around. I'll check later.

sell then buy me 50 dish towls

So that's why THIS THREAD came up as third (now first) result when googling "Swedish Rolex spoons"

Oh neat. If they're Rolex as in the watch company, the value of it May not lay in the material, but rather the age. If you know how old they are, then you can find a better number.

Though I'm not a spoon-ologist.

Probably from the late 1970s.
