My daughter uses a little spoon marked "D&A Burmaroid".

My father-in-law said that he used the spoon when he was a baby.

I want to know something about the spoon. It is white and a little yellow. Which metal? Which country produced it? How many years since it been made?

" aluminum-silver alloy ... "

NO! There is no aluminum and no silver in it.

The composition can vary considerably but it will contain somewhere between

40 - 65 % copper ( Cu )

10 - 40 % zink ( Zn )

7 - 25 % nickel ( Ni )

plus some very small amount of other metals. There are several combination of these metals that can be polished to shine almost like silver.

I hope this is a bit clearer.
