Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

The first spoon is not from the late 1880s. It’s Wm. A. Rogers ‘Chatelaine/Sonia’ pattern, introduced in 1930 and produced only in silverplate.

Neither is the second spoon English and that’s not a duty mark. Also, you will almost never see the word ‘Sterling’ on English silver because the hallmark itself was the sterling guarantee and the word would be superfluous. It’s too worn to establish the maker, but it’s an American spoon.
