Help Needed With Nurnberg Maker

[dognose]

Hi,

Does anyone know the maker of these Nurnberg spoons? IL over M.





Any thoughts appreciated.

Johann Leonhard Maximilian Mayer (1778-1858), apprenticed 1792-1797 to Gallus Wilhelm Dreschel, Master in 1802. The city spelled out like that means the spoons were made after 1822; but not too much after, I'd say, based on the style: 1830 or so.
