Hey everyone just trying to find out if the name I see on this spoon is the maker or not. I know the pic isn't that good but the name has some wear but it looks like ira s town there may be a letter after the s and before the t because of the wear I am not sure any help appreciated .

Thanks

It is coin silver. Since he ran a "silver spoon manufactory," it was probably made by him or someone else in his employ.
