This is in response to ahwt's post about the coffin spoon with "wriggle work." I acquired a spoon with that sort of decoration recently:




I'd love the mark to be "I pellet B", but I'm not sure if it's really a B. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I•B is a fair assumption from what I see in your image. The mark resembles one (see here) used c 1800-1810 by John Burger in New York City -- it has the same oddly shaped lower bowl of the B.

John Burger was just the person I had in mind; this spoon's design is very reminiscent of another I have by him. Thank you very much, wev!
