Hey :)
I couldn't find this hallmark so I thought I'd bring it here...
Thanks!

Spoon with Asian man as handle
Re: Spoon with Asian man as handle
The marks look like "90 % SILVER 分"
The Chinese character at the end has many meanings (depending on context), one of them is "percent." My theory is that the marks simply indicate 90 percent silver in both English and Chinese, with no maker's or retailer's mark.
From the style and craftsmanship, the spoon was very likely made in Hong Kong, mid-twentieth century.
