Description
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
