Silver spoon help

[SkyPirate]

Can anyone tell me about this spoon? It reads "T.J.Brown 10 15" on the back. Anything about it's age and worth? Thanks.

Here is a quote from a silver forum:

"Thomas J. Brown (1812 - 1886) worked as a gold- and silversmith in Baltimore from 1842 - 1884. His son, Thomas J. Brown, Jr. was also a gold- and silversmith and they worked together as Thomas J. Brown and Son (1872 - 1884)."

From the looks of things, it's a nice OLD find!
