I dug this silver spoon bowl at a 1928 permission. My layman's internet search was not conclusive on the makers mark or year of manufacture.

I could also use some help deciphering the script initials. Looks like FGA to my untrained eyes.

Hoping you guys can help! Big thanks and big luv from KC!!

The marks are for the Watson Company of Attleboro Massachusetts and probably from around the 1920s onwards . A look at the handle pattern might enable a better date, unless it's a plain/generic fiddleback.

Not too sure on the monogram. They're always difficult.

Thanks so much Red-Coat! Really appreciate the assist.

Strange that the monogram was etched inside the bowl. All the ones I've found have been on the end of the handle. Maybe it was made as a souvenir spoon?

I thought something was off about that, bet you are on to something. Thanks Mark
