Two similar Charles II unascribed puritan spoons
Two similar Charles II unascribed puritan spoons, one scratched 'B over SE', on the terminal, the other scratched 'RM', each with maker's mark 'TA' [with pellets and a roseate]*, and a leopard's head mark [thrice], 1660-1670, the former 6.9in (17.5cm) long, 2.7oz. (2) * This maker's mark bears more than a passing resemblence to that of Thomas Allen (London spoon maker), these spoons may have been a 'country' attempt to imitate Allen's work
