Junghans Astro-Chron

Received this latest addition to my humble collection today: a Junghans Astro-Chron. The first domestic quartz clock, launched in March 1967.
It’s an absolute UNIT of a clock, weighing in just shy of 2,5kg (with a Duracell D-cell). Not pictured is its proprietary case.
Also not pictured is the layer of nicotine I already cleaned off of the stainless steel surface. You could’ve sworn it was a bronze coloured piece before. Yuck.

Hi community
I’ve had this little spoon for years. Bought it at a flea market because I thought it was interesting and it looked quite old with the engraved initials. Unfortunately I was never able to decipher the hallmarks on the stem.

From what I can decipher, it’s:
- a B with three dots above,
- a key, also with three dots or maybe a crown?
- unknown mark 1
- unknown mark 2

I’m very curious to read the responses!

EDIT: I’m based in Belgium and this is also where I have bought this spoon
