Hi I have looked at the gorum marks page and while some look simaler they are not the same, the item is a small ornate spoon about 4ins long, could anybody tell please about what year this was made as there is no date letter, its in pretty good condition and the marks are clear, many thanks in advance.

Your Gorham demitasse size souvenir spoon shows General Israel Putnam, leader of the Connecticut Militia during the Revolutionary War. The wolf at the top relates to a legend about his slaying of the last wolf in Connecticut. The Design Patent #21058 was issued Sept. 22, 1891, assigned to jeweler/retailer George E. Shaw of Putnam, CT.
