Another Frisian Occasion spoon c.1753

Post by legrandmogol »

Not sure at all who the maker is for this one and I don't have a lot of confidence in its being identified but again it has a great engraving on it. The figure is also larger on this one than I usually see at about 1.5" tall. Any help would be appreciated
