Welcome to the forum. Your spoons are marked to indicate that they are nine hundred parts out of a thousand pure and solid silver. Their style for me dates them to about the mid nineteenth century. If they are a family heirloom, it maybe possible to work out whose intitials are on the handle, but without the marking for a maker, manufacturer or retailer, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to learn much more.
