It's pewter, if that helps middle pick is the underside of spoon bowl, great if you could help

I can give you a good idea.With the long slender shaped bowl,& not having a rat tail,being pewter it would fall under a neoclassical style.It would date from 1740-1810.

Thanks Man,After I dug the (banner) spoon mold which is very early & rare for here.I learned alot about the old spoons.(pewter) I'll say that since then knowing how easy pewter becomes brittle & all finding ones that are whole & date so early is a tough task.And how can you get much more personal then finding something that someone once had in there mouth. I don't have many but I do have a few oldies,the two whole ones are mid rib.
Take Care,
Pete,
