The single Lion and the timeframe of 1925 makes me think this is related to the British Exhibition of 1924-1925 which was held at Wembley. See link below also
https://www.amazon.com/Lion-Roars-Wembley-British-Exhibition/dp/0950925101
A couple of items that initially I thought were football items, one was a badge of the stadium with 1925 on it and another with a single lion and the word Wembley and the date 1925 on it caught my attention on eBay over here in the States. I did a quick check and found they were related to the exhibition and not the football side. Yours, since it has the cup seems to cover both.
Cheers |

Tom Roe was selling this, he showed it to me at the recent Leeds programme fair.
Its a nice little spoon, and in my opinion is more connected to the Cup Final rather than the exhibition, after all the Cup final programme has the roaring lion and the words wembley exhibition, and thats definately football related
In what degree of context the spoon is connected to the football I cannot ascertain. Pre match dinner? Post match dinner? I'd not seen one before.
I assume it is hallmarked? I didn't check

It's a beautiful item regardless.
This next comment, however true, is only tongue-in-cheek I should add ... but if you were to chop the actual spoon part off and stick a pin on the back, you'd increase its value tenfold!

This has to be for the 1925 Cup Final at Wembley. It shows two captains reaching out for the cup over a football. When it first opened Wembley stadium was known as the Empire Stadium, hence the Lion symbol of the British Empire. I shall probably burn in hell now for bringing up a reference to the 'Empire'. |
