Author	Topic: I haven't a clue
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 06-28-2016 06:10 PM what this mark may be. It is on a 2 1/4" long shovel form salt spoon with a coffin handle and surprising weight. The mark is very small and I have no idea of its top or bottom. Assuming the striated background is intended to run vertically, here it is both ways Any ideas? IP: Logged

Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-28-2016 07:16 PM I also haven't a clue. With lots of imagination ...adding a horizon line, I kind of see a mountain and a reflection. Or Perhaps a prehistoric bird. IP: Logged
