What's this spoon collection worth?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but I couldn't find a forum that fits this kind of collection.
So my buddy bought a house and he found this collection in the basement.
How much do you think it's worth ?
Pic attached.
Thanks !

As for your question, you can get a basic idea by browsing through eBay lots for sounvenir spoon collections.
The main question is whether or not you have any sterling silver spoons in the collection. They are almost always marked if they are silver. You can take them to a local antique shop in your area and they can tell you if you are not sure. In general, souvenir spoons are worth very little (less than $1 each), although there are certainly exceptions. Very early spoons have a chance of being valuable, and certain issues are collectible (i.e. early World's Fair spoons).
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
BTW a lot of those were made with sterling silver so don't clean them. Sometimes the tarnish is what tells what they are.

I can't make out much from the scan but if you have any ocean liner spoons, specifically Cunard, you will know them by the crest, engraving and hallmarks), I would be interested. Pre WW1 Cunard spoons are engraved with the name if the ship in the bowl.
