Here we have I assume an electroplated spoon but with "Solid Alaska Silver" stamped on it.
I felt I needed to review at my "Hutton" image again, and there came an immediate light bulb moment. Could the undefined circular mark be the crossed arrows trademark (previously "Creswicks" mark) that Huttons acquired in 1902. I made a comparison with another more obvious W.Hutton & Sons mark.

I soon found a bit more corroborating evidence and it was on our own Forum courtesy of "Dognose" and this image.

We have a 1907 advert with 2 possible trade names for Hutton, "Singalee" and "Alaska" tableware.

The advert was from a Canadian arm of Huttons, so does the spoon advertised in the USA originate from here?
Alternatively a second Forum post gives another explanation/derivation of this spoon.

"2209patrick" in a 2007 reply informs us
"Not positive about this, but I think that was a trademark used by Sears Roebuck & Company, Chicago, Illinois (c.1908).
They had flatware made for them by different manufacturers and then sold them under various trademarks. I believe "Alaska Silver" was a trademark for their nickel silver alloy flatware."
"2209patrick" was definitely correct that Sears Roebuck used "Alaska" in their trademarking as shown in this image from a said to be early 1900's Sears Roebuck catalogue quoting "Alaska Silverware" describing it as "not plated, but is the same solid metal through and through".

Is this "Solid Alaska Silver"? If there are any more explanations do please add them in.
