I notice that the `handle` is hollowed out......suggests that something is poured down it .......... either from, or to the `spoon` end.

Dodger, does your big one unscrew ?
I was thinking how useful that could be......You could replace it with a corkscrew.......or a radio aerial in areas of difficult reception........or use it for hands-free fishing - very `handy` if you want to light a fag without letting go of the rod...............................................

"Oops forget to add its made of wood and is missing the rubber diaphragm(HINT) and other smaller parts."-the rubber diaphargm covered the mouth/hollow of the ladle

An artifact you pinched from a museum

On a serious note, is it a muzzleloader flask - used to load blackpowder into ML?

well actually its a indigeneous Indian Bater(Quail) caller which by old man got from a trapper/shikari in the 60's when he was posted in J&K.

The spoon had a rubber diaphragm which disintegrated ages ago and the hollow of the handle had a tube stuck using beehive wax.......all the components which are supposed to make it work were lost.

BTW when I first came across it at home I thought it was some sort of old wooden spoon.

Vinayaka,

That's very interesting. Restoring it would be worth the effort.
