This is a 6" long, coin silver spoon. The mark is "GH" in an oval cartouche. Does anyone recognize the mark? Thanks.

Could be George Hutton (1729-1806) of Albany, New York.

It is George Hendell of Carlisle, PA. It is becoming apparent that George Hutton, Jr. (not his father as suggested here) was basically a merchant while in partnership with his brother Isaac, rather than a practicing silversmith.
