Bronze Buddha cutlery

From, as it says on each piece "Siam"
Thailand was called Siam until 1939 when it was changed to Thailand.
It became Saim again from 1945 to 1949
Wiki is not clear on why. Perhaps one of my, hitherto, mute readers
can enlighten us!

Comments:
Thailand means "Land of the free", I believe.
