Hi - Could anyone help identify this mark on a sterling souvenir spoon marked Memphis. Also has date of 1893. I am assuming it is American.
Thanks!

Hello.

I wonder if that is a sideways "D" for the William B. Durgan Company. Check here:

I think you are right. It looks like Durgin's Watteau.

Thanks to you both. Did not think to look at it from the other angle.
