S Baker & Son coin serving spoon

[Tipton444]

I got an incredible amount of large coin silver serving spoons, and need help with identification. I have 4 different makers, and about two pounds of silver. I know you are only supposed to list one item per listing, so I'll have to make a couple (please help with others as well!). For this one, I have only 2 serving spoons, marked "S. Baker & Son." Any information on this maker? Thanks!

For what it's worth, in the 1850 U. S. Federal Census there is a Samuel Baker in North Brunswick, NJ who was born in about 1786 and whose occupation is listed as watchmaker. In the same household, there is also an Elias Baker aged 33 who is probably a son and whose occupation is also watchmaker.
