The Nazi swastika has arms that go all the way out to the edge.<br /><br />This simply has to be a spoon from Eimskipafélag Íslands ... and that opinion of mine is backed up by the other symbol there, an "E" with an "I" behind it.<br /><br />Eimskipafélag Ísands is a shipping/freight company in Iceland, and their former logo was indeed a short armed "swastika" ... or "Þórshamar" as it is called in Icelandic (Thor's Hammer). Use Google Images and seek for "Eimskip Logo", and you will see images of the former logo they used (into the 80's, when someone decided to replace it with the ugly looking "E" logo.Trausti Hraunfjörðhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434600274604785096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476849574944012036.post-85674456177688148942013-08-31T17:04:16.401+01:002013-08-31T17:04:16.401+01:00Hey there it´s Tómas again, i found out that this ...Hey there it´s Tómas again, i found out that this spoon does not come from Nazi´s but a shipping company from Iceland called Eimskip, they used the swastika aswell for some strange reason. You can see on the arms of the swastika that they are shorter then on the nazi swastika. So there we go. But a strange place to find this i think.Tómas Magnússonhttp://terrort.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476849574944012036.post-25595881386888484042013-08-30T20:47:17.482+01:002013-08-30T20:47:17.482+01:00Hi i´m from Iceland.

As far as i know she´s not a nazi or a pow and when i asked her about it she had no idea where it came from but probly my grandfather picked it up somewhere while sailing back in the day. My spoon is a bit bigger then this one. Have you found anything more out about it? email me if you found something more outTómas Magnússonhttp://terrort.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
