C & B Coin Spoons

[castaway22]

This is my first attempt to use the forum so please bear with me. I have a dozen spoons marked C & B Coin. I have seen some marked Canfield & Brother and I am wondering if this is the same maker and about when they would have been manufactured. Here (I hope) are a couple of pictures.





thanks

Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but I will say that if someone told me that your mark was for Canfield & Bro, I would have have a hard time disagreeing. That style of your spoon is in line with their period in business. I suspect that whoever marked this spoon was the retailer. It looks like it is in especially good condition.

For a period that you spoon was made in, I'd say second quarter of the nineteenth century.
