Mystery Spoon

I found this interestingly shaped spoon at the Transfer station and wondered to myself (unsuccessfully) what it could be designed for. The flat bottom made me think it must have a particular purpose, maybe part of a salad server set ... 

A Google search helped me stumble onto cooking and roux spoons, which this appears to be - the flat edge is to help scrape and cover the bottom of a pan better than a rounded edge. Many wooden implements have this shape, and don't feel they have to masquerade as a spoon!
