help with a makers mark - HAS PICTURES NOW

[firekidd]

I will try an get a picture later, but here is what I have
A gold washed (?) spoon with a impression on the bowl of a roman head in a circle on one side and the other side is a diamond imprint (which did not impress all the way) the top reads MASSATF and below this it looks like a shield with an M inside.

Again I will try to get pictures up later.

Thank you

Is it marked "sterling", can you tell us why you think it is American?

[firekidd]

It is not marked sterling.
I choose american as I had no idea who it could be,

[firekidd]

I do not know how to move this over the picture forum so I will just add the pictures here and hope someone knows what they are.

Hello, there was a French maker P. Massat, who used his full name, a lyre plus a dot on each side of the lyre, all in a lozenge. Was out of business before 1970. As to the other letters following here the Massat - I cannot see them to clearly. Could be Fs. (Fils, French for sons) ?? Maybe someone else knows more. Best wishes, Bahner
