As found on a coin silver coffin end salt spoon. Not able to find him online and the genealogy project is down, so hopefully someone will recognize the name.

That mark is shown in Catherine Hollan's book "Philadelphia Silversmith" as belonging to Thomas Campbell. He worked in New York 1817-20 and Philadelphia 1828-1833.
Usually I think of coffin spoons being made around 1800, but anything is possible.
I should add that Ms. Hollan lists him as a watchmaker in New York and a jeweler in Philadelphia.
