Hey Forum Folks,

Here is an interesting spoon. Probably colonial, possibly Canadian? It is in oar pattern.

It has four marks - Lion (right facing) M A Lion (left facing)

Has anyone seen this mark before? Any clues?

Ancient Greek Coins ----- they have that style of "A" . I have seen it many times. Something looks influenced by Ancient Greece here, but I understand that this would not lead us to a maker, but simply the style of font. Ancient Greek Syracuse Tetradrachm 370-330 BC.
