Hi,
Another mystery piece here - I thought perhaps a West Country maker, but really have no idea, and probably lack the proper books. The orientation of the scoops seems unusual to me, as does the size (just under seven inches in length, and about 34 grams), but I don't see a lot of these. Would appreciate any help! Regards, WesternPA
