I think I found it!

James P. Steele, Rochester NY, 1838-1878

I was totally lost without these hints. Excited to know its age and that it was made in Rochester!

Awesome info thanks

doing some quick googling it sounds like the spoon is probably a few decades older than the house - pretty cool!

found this small spoon digging in my yard in Rochester, NY. House was built 1900. Just curious on this item and found this site. I clicked though a few images of marks and didn't find anything similar. http://i46.tinypic.com/242sqrd.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/iqlls1.jpg
