That sounds like a Dionne quintuplet spoon. Do a search on Google or on
Ebay. There's a full set of five for sale on Ebay with a very good
picture. Perhaps you'll find one like your spoon. If it is a Dionne
quint spoon, it's no more than 70 to 75 years old. I don't remember
their exact birth date but it was sometime in the early 1930s. I think
they/re a couple years younger than me.

Hi Alta and list,
The quints were born in May 1934 and I had paper dolls of them. I framed
the paper dolls (with some of their sets of clothes) about 20 years ago, but my
kids thought that they looked silly on my bedroom wall! (Not that I took
them down until I was ready!) :)

Of course, I still have them! (Along with a paper doll who is about 24
inches high who sits in a 25 inch paper high chair. Anybody remember them?)

I also had 4 paper dolls of women in the Armed Forces. (The Wafs, Waves,
Women Marines, etc. each had 4 or 5 uniforms to wear.) I recently gave them to
my daughter ( a retired AF Capt and an antique dealer). Fun memories.
