UPDATE: 1770 Coin Silver Spoon. Abijah Northey maker mark.

The spoon i posted earlier today has been identified by someone on a different forum. Wanted to post an update with actual correct info. So excited to have found this and is absolutely one of my favorite items found. Getting in touch with town Historical Society to see if i can match the letters to one of the original families to town. Would be awesome. Made by Abijah Northey from Salem MA circa 1770. Oldest Colonial spoon ive found to date and first coin silver spoon

Make sure they know how to research the initials as per my other post. It's a pre-colonial hang-over, so not all US researchers will realise that.
