Description

DC Batman & Superman Cutlery Lot of 15 (various, 1966-77). A whimsical assortment of superhero-themed tableware from the silver age of DC merchandising, this lot spans over a decade of licensed cutlery celebrating the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel. Headlining the collection are four stainless steel Batman spoon and fork sets manufactured by Imperial Knife Co. in 1966, featuring embossed handles with Batman sculpted in relief. One set remains affixed to its original card with pop-art packaging and speech bubbles that capture the era's comic book charm. A second card is included as a blank display backer. Condition varies among the loose pieces, with some forks and spoons exhibiting moderate surface wear, mild bending, and scattered tarnish from age. Rounding out the lot are six colorful 4.5" decorative spoons from the late 1970s, each inset with enamel-like portrait medallions. Characters featured include Batman, Robin (two copies), Joker, Penguin, and Catwoman. See images for further condition details. Items are sold as is. Even mealtime was an adventure when the Justice League joined your utensil drawer. Whether you're a collector of licensed novelties or just love a little bat-action with your breakfast, this nostalgic lot delivers vintage flair with every bite.
