To add to this info, Buttner was from Strasbourg. This spoon in the Filet or Thread pattern was made after 1838 of 800 standard silver.

Yes, the Buttners were one of those Strasbourg dynasties of silver makers and jewellers. Charles-Auguste’s grandfather was Johann Frederich the elder, and he was the nephew of Johann Frederich the younger, and Johann-Jacob.
