c.1760 salt spoon

[Granmaa]

This is a salt spoon with a shell bowl made around 1760. The maker's mark is stamped twice (duty dodging), but I am undecided whether it is that of Peter Bennett or Paul Bocquet. Any ideas?

It may possibly be Samuel Kay/Key (Grim 2566).

Hi Miles,
I think the Samuel Key mark much more likely,
