Coin silver spoon silversmith ID needed.

[NJ Marty]

Got some spoons at an estate sale today, 50 cents each. I usually have bad luck, always silver plate but I searched through a huge box of silver wear and these looked too good to be plate. I did a quick search on F.C. Raymond and came up empty. Does anyone have knowledge if this is the real deal and how old the Raymond spoon might be? The Raymond spoon is very very thin and has a Boston stamp. The first 4 pictures are the F.C. Raymond, I enclosed pictures of the others also. Are the Reed & Barton silver plate? Thanks.

As to who it is, Freeman C. Raymond was a watchmaker and jeweler. I see pieces of his on the net using coin silver, which isn't isn't far from sterling. Here's another example: Metals - Spoon (Teaspoon) - Search the Collection - Winterthur Museum
