1920s vintage cast aluminum dipper or soup ladle, marked Germany

Early 1900s vintage cast aluminum ladle, marked only 'Germany', probably 1920s we think. This is about 11 3/4" long end to end.

It's dark from use and very spotted, finish is pitted, not shiny at all. We hardly ever find ladles or spoons to go with the old aluminum cookware, they lead a hard life in early 20th century vintage kitchens!
