 Above is a small spoon with a clear C in a rectangle and a possible H following the C. It also has a flower back picture. One candidate for this spoon is Charles Hall that Ms. Hollan in her book on Philadelphia silversmith’s notes was trained in Philadelphia and worked in Lancaster PA from 1763 until 1783 making flower back spoons.

Always hard to judge from photos and worn marks where a clear outline of the punch has been lost, but could this be an English lion passant with Charles Hougham as a possibility for the maker? And could the bowl decoration be a rococo shell rather than flowers? IP: Logged |

Thanks agphile. Charles Hougham is a real possibility. I initially thought the lion passant should would have a dip on the lower side. The shell idea is a good idea also - thanks again. IP: Logged |

Hard to tell because of the wear, but might that not be a webbed shell design rather than flowers? IP: Logged |

 Above is the monogram on this London spoon. It has the letter E over what appear to be the letters T and H with a + in the middle of these letters. I think this was for a husband and wife with the E the first initial of the husband's surname and T and H the first letters of the husband’s and wife’s given names. I wonder was these method used throughout a marriage or just at the beginning of a marriage. IP: Logged |
