Silverware with heel marks make poor quality spoon rings
Spoon benders just like all other business people, have ethical choices to make. In order to make a quality spoon ring you really have to start with a quality spoon. I'm not going to pretend like I've never wrapped up some really worn ugly spoons in my day and I still occasionally do especially if I'm making a custom order for a sentimental reason. The picture below is of two spoons in the same pattern. Both handles look in reasonably good condition. the only notable difference in quality of both of these spoons is the heel mark on the spoon on top.

What you never knew about Orange Blossom Spoon Rings
Orange Blossom ring
The orange blossom silverware pattern was patented on Nov, 29, 1910. Those of you who have the wrapped style orange blossom spoon ring will be able to see the patent date of the pattern near where the bowl of the spoon used to be.
