Found a copper or brass spoon bowl. Need some help on how old?

Found a large copper or brass spoon bowl in the woods yesterday. It wasn't very deep, but it was a few feet from a really old cellar hole. Any clue on how old it might be? The handle is very thin and narrow, which is usually indicative of pre-1800 spoons. Give me your best guesses, guys!

Thank you, Crusader. After your reply, I did some research and found a chart that helps to date old spoons. This spoon appears to be from the 1820 to 1850 era.

I wouldn't put a lot of credulity to the diagram reference for the spoon marked 1820 is a pattern that has been utilized for many years thereafter. Rogers bros made these throughout the mid to late 1800s and the pattern is still out there......tipped pattern. Agree with Cru but it may be later 19th century rather than earlier.

Yeah, why I left a large window.
