Two serving spoons by Demilt

[Granmaa]

Here are two serving spoons with the name Demilt on them. There is no pattern exactly like this in England, but if there were it would probably be called shell pattern.
Could somebody please tell me the date of these spoons, the name of the pattern and anything about the maker.

Thanks,
Miles

Samuel, Benjamin or Andrew Demilt, working in New York City c 1800-1820; they all used virtually identical marks and no one has worked out just who made what. There is no definative name for the pattern.

Thankyou Wev; I made a mistake in the first message: there is a pattern like this in England, it's called fiddle and shell.

Not definitive, but here in the US, they are commonly called "fiddle & shell" as well.
