I nedd help ID this spoon. The hallmark is SH. There looks like a dot mid way between the letters. The bowl appears to have been hammered into shape. Am I wrong? The handel design is very delicate
I can't thank the members of this forum enough for helping me identify my spoons. Hubby wanted to sell them all for scrap which got me into researching them. Thanks so much!

Might be but letters seem closer together. I try to get better photo of mark.

Great looking spoon, especially the engraving.

The engraving impresses me as very typically American circa 1800, which might help to point to Stephen Hardy as the maker. His S<pellet>H mark as shown in Ensko is not rendered precisely enough to definitely confirm or deny this attribution, but it is the best fit that I can see offhand, FWIW.

Do also remember that the maker's mark punch may have been replaced over the years and slight changes do happen.
