Spoon manufacturer?
Thiese spoons were given to me by a family member but I couldn't find the manufacturer or the age. Any ideas on who the manufacturer is or the age - Looks like "MC" to me? The spoons measure about 5 inches long. Thanks!

Re: Spoon manufacturer?
I'll take a stab at it
I found this genealogical database of American Silversmiths. Here is the C section:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....ightnames2.htm
I looked at Martin Cheney because he seemed like maybe from the right time period and area - but I found he was more famous for making clocks and I haven't been able to find any silver pieces attributed to him yet. Maybe this will help you though... Very cool spoons! 
Martin Cheney
