Thanks! Yes, I came across this post. Do you have any idea what the other marks like FM, C and 83 may mean?

Hi Sebastian,

In 1983-84 Franklin Mint issued a set of 'Silver Spoons of the World's Greatest Silvermiths'. If your spoon is very small, around 2½", then it is likely to be from this set. The 'FM' would be Franklin Mint, '83' the year. Not sure about the other mark.

Thank you! I have found another source and C might be the mark for "Camille" which probably is the name of the design.
