Turn it over and tap it out from the bottom, or lock it in a vise, wrap leather around the spoon and use pliers. Carefully. :-) You might be able to lever it out or use a hammer extracting pliers, but it's hard to keep the right angle.

I pulled a c 88 out of a Kimball and there I found a tiny hole for a spoon. What is the safest way to extract a spoon without bending up? Thanks again everyone.
