Spoon manufacturer?

[testing123]

Thiese spoons were given to me by a family member but I couldn't find the manufacturer or the age. Any ideas on who the manufacturer is or the age - Looks like "MC" to me? The spoons measure about 5 inches long. Thanks!

I'll take a stab at it I found this genealogical database of American Silversmiths. Here is the C section:

I looked at Martin Cheney because he seemed like maybe from the right time period and area - but I found he was more famous for making clocks and I haven't been able to find any silver pieces attributed to him yet. Maybe this will help you though... Very cool spoons!
