I have a silver spoon. Please, help me to identify that it for a product. I can see a brand "STERLING" and "PA.92".
On a box where the spoon is stored there is an old inscription:
M. W. SHAW
Gal ????? , Tex.

Thanks big!

The pattern is Mazarin. Michael W Shaw was a retail jeweler in Gavelston, Texas and it is his business's name that is probably on the box you mention. Mazarin has been a popular pattern with quite a few people. Your pieces look like they are in good shape.
