Need help identifying pattern and maker of spoon.

Post by wgw001 »

Having trouble identifying the maker and pattern of the spoon. I found this spoon while metal detecting, when I pulled it out of the ground it look like gold, I had it tested and it is not gold but I was told that it was gold plated or gold filled. I also found a button 100 yards from this spoon that I was able to identify date 1800-1820 but I'm sure that the spoon is not near that old.

Sorry no one got back on this sooner, but, it appears you may have the word "TRIPLE" which designates triple silverplating. It's a higher quality and often used for commercial services (hotel, restaurant, etc.) as well as households. Patterns of this sort are typical of late 1800's to early 1900's and made by many firms. You could take time searching the many photos for each maker on Sterlingflatwarefashions site, but to be brutally honest it would probably not be worth the time except as a learning experience.
