Interesting spoons. I cannot make out the mark - do you recognize it? IP: Logged |

I've seen this style handle without the engraving. The engraving does a good job of emphasizing the handle's shape. The maker's identification was not given intentionally just for the minor challenge it presents. IP: Logged |

John Starr Blackman? These spoons have that great feel of an individual designer/maker working in his times but to his own muse. IP: Logged |

So it is! I have only seen this style of spoon or something very similar one other time. I agree with ahwt that they are interesting spoons. I couldn't resist buying them. Thank you both for your comments, and wev for the clear mark. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 01-14-2009).] IP: Logged |
