sure don't. Now that you know what it is, try to look it up on google and maybe try ebay?

Monticello became museum in 1923 so your piece could date from the 1920's-1930's.. Check the piece - it could be sterling silver.

Can you take a close up picture of the back... ?

Focus in on marks.

Souvenirs. Went to school at UVA. Saw them all the time. Think about it, how could silver ware that Thomas Jefferson used have a stamped picture of Monticello. Could still be silver, but definitely souvenir. Not from the 1830s.

I post some more pictures

Spoons show up with similar lettering with no dates. Only called "vintage".

You might try contacting the folks at the Monticello shop. They may be able to date it for you.

looks silver plated...cheap souvenir. Sorry, I'm the first to hope trash is treasure...but that ain't it. Sharpen the edge and use to further your hobby as a fruit carving enthusiast. You will be the life of the party.

Careful with that thing you'll poke your eye out.
