I have some coin spoons with the first initial either fully rubbed or unreadable, but the rest of the mark is as follows:

G. BALDWIN

Any help would be appreciated.

There was a Jesse Guilford Baldwin working as a silversmith and pewterer c 1825-1850 in Oxford and Middletown CT. Unfortunately, I do not have a pic of his mark for comparison.

That would work in terms of the date of the style and in terms of the rubbed first initial. Thank you very much!
