Hello all,
I am a collector of silver and new to the board. I would like some help with this hallmark. I found this beauty in an antique shop for 25 cents.
My guess is that this is a 18th century American coin spoon, but I cannot ID the makers mark.
I believe the right half of the mark may be worn away. The left half is clearly a W and then the right half is unclear.
I would appreciate any assistance!

::::: William Coffin Little with a punch that's been worn out so there is a break in the "W" is my best guess. :::::::
::::: The spoon I found in a museum seems to share certain stylistic elements like the pointed drop and the shape of the end of the handle. ::::::
::::: Not quite 18th century but early 19th century (circa 1810). ::::::::::

Thanks so much for your reply, that was my guess for the makers mark as well.
