Reproduction period pewter spoons are pretty easy to get for under $10 each. My 
horn spoons lasted less than a season - they split along the grain pretty 
quickly in spite of cleaning and drying right after eating.

I don't know if different care would have helped or not or even whether the recommendations in this file are different from what Eirene did, but for those thinking of horn utensils, you might be interested in this file:
