Recently came across this 6” spoon. In addition to an engraved rampant beast on the top of the handle, there is what appears to be a maker’s mark on the reverse, which unfortunately is not clear. The second letter appears to be W, but the first letter I cannot make out.
Reviewing the 925 website, I am curious to know if perhaps the mark is that of Benjamin Wynkoop II? Assuming the first letter is a B, the second letter, W, appears correct and the mark on the spoon is somewhat tapered, as is the one shown on the 925 website.
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
