Is this the Benjamin Franklin Edmunds on Erik's site? Owned this mustard spoon for several years, interestingly engraved with my uncommon last name (and my Dad's initials).

The age and shape of the spoon are right for the Edmunds on Erik's list, and the mark is shown in Kovel's.

Yes, that's the fellow. Belden shows the same mark.

It appears Benjamin F Edmunds worked with Jonathan L Kenniston in his early working years in Manchester, New Hampshire
and for that reason may even have apprenticed with him.

It would be interesting to see this spoon's images refreshed too.
