✅ SOLVED Dug an old spoon - anyone know what it is?

[maine_Jim]

I dug this out of ground in my backyard. I wasn't having much luck id'ing it. It did come around th the same area I found an 1797 cent so I thought it might have some age but who knows! Next to the cent I found a couple matchboxes.

Thanks,

Thanks - so it looks like a grade B, white metal plated spoon, maybe made in Sheffield? After that I can't say but thanks. I don't have any idea what that last symbol is!

I think that is a "fiddleback" style spoon. Dates to first half of 19th century.
