Mark on old spoon - est. 1770's - 1780's maybe - BP. Unable to find this exact mark and wonder if anyone might know who the maker is...

Benjamin Prince died 1789 New York Silversmith (No Known Mark) ::: You might be in the (No Known Mark) zone :::

Thank you for the info. I have seen one other spoon marked this way and it also fell within Mr. Prince's working dates. So far he is the top contender...

Born in 1756 so he was only alive for 33 years. ::: The form seems correct for 1770-1789 :::

I was hoping it was a seldom seen mark by Benjamin Pierpont...

Was the other spoon you found by "BP" similar in form to this spoon? :::
