Sutton, American silversmith?

Here is a nice 8" long serving spoon, I'm assuming its Coin. Anybody have anything on Sutton? There may be an initial or graphic before the name Sutton, but it's pretty well rubbed.

Thorn listed Robert Sutton New Haven 1815 but had no sample marks for him back then. Now we do, for initials. But look at the watchpaper sample where his name is spelled out. Some of these guys have maker and retailer marks, as well as changes of each over time. So, this is not conclusive: https://www.americansilversmiths.org/ma ... 165077.htm

So Robert Sutton from New Haven is about the only Sutton who worked in silver that has turned up. I don't have a copy of "Marks of American Silversmiths in the Ineson-Bissell Collection", I wonder if anyone reading this has one? That's usually the most comprehensive listing of hallmarks.

Most of my books are packed away, but Belden's 'Marks of American Silversmiths in the Ineson-Bissell Collection' was handy - no 'Sutton'...
