Any help figuring out the first part of this mark...thanks so much.

Could you add an image of the mark on the other spoon even if it appears to have an overstrike as the one you are showing does?

There is only this spoon...

Thank you, I've done images like yours myself. I should have realized. It looks like the name may end with "auld." I'll do some more looking and possibly an answer will come up in the meantime.

Thanks so much. I think you are right. It came with a couple of other NH silversmith spoons.
