Not exactly a rectangle with defined corners (none of them) and not exactly conjoined circles.
Thoughts? I have 13 of these spoons and believe they would be called some type of an Apostle spoon. Holland was well known for cast silver Apostle spoons. HB&H, not so much.
Curious...
Hope my pics work.

I see from the full-size version of your image that there are suggestions that the mark is actually HH in conjoined circles. This confirms that it is the mark of Henry Holland.

Thanks for the reply sir. I was wondering what one would call these spoons? Are they salt spoons, serving spoons, etc? I have scoured the internet and cant find anything with the same figural like them. The top figural is of a an adult holding what looks to be a young child. The bottom one is of just an adult. The spoon is very shallow and washed in gold. I've been able to date them to 1876. Anyone have any ideas what thy would be called so I can research further?

Does anyone know what these spoons are called?
