Spoon?

[Garabaldi]

Do you think this is a spoon? It has a mark in the middle. If this is a spoon how old do you think it is? It seems thin.

Looks like a spoon tip. Tony

It's for sure a spoon.And with the shape of the bowl & how the stem looks like it would had attached I'd say a slip top type spoon.And would date it mid 1600's.If you could maybe draw what you see of the mark or a better shot might do hard to say.But anyhow I could try and match it to all the ones I have.Up to Ya! But it's old for sure.

I thought it was an oldie. I took a couple more photos of the mint mark.

I think I was right the first time.But go here and see page 41 I think the mark is the top row middle the flower with two rings looks close.And would be right for the slipped type stem. Otherwise I'm sure you can find it's match there.

Timekiller (Pete), you are the man. You nailed it. Great book and yes I believe that is the mint mark on page 41. Thank you very much.
This spoon bit is going in a display case baby.
