Default Sterling Silver Baby Spoons...

Here are 2 spoons I found with my BH Landstar....The straight one is
a cut-away design of "Little Boy Blue" made by the Watson-Newll Co.
of Attleboro, Mass. founded in 1874...the spoon is circa 1910 to 1920
(that is approximately when this style spoon was generated).....The
hallmark of the Co. is very clearly marked on the underside.....
........The other baby spoon is a curved floral design...Patent date of
Oct. 4, 1894......The Hallmark isn't as clear....and I've tried to I.D. it...
It possibly is Reed & Barton........This spoon was badly mangled....but
as you can see I had them both restored by an excellent Silversmith I
know.........These were both found in a farm field that normally turns up
anything from 1890 to 1920.......Hope you like 'em......thanks........
