CW in rectangle 7 3/4" spoons

Post by Silverman664 »

Trying to find a maker on these spoons. Looking through the "Marks of Early American Silversmiths" could be:
William Cowell (or not they have this underneath his listing with no info)
William Cleveland but he appears to use a different W
Or just a maker simply lost to time. The markings are incredibly poorly struck so that could be a clue in its own right.
I've attached the best marked one and 2 other less well marked
Thanks,
Jacob

Thank you kindly! These came with a large lot of early coin silver spoons like you rarely see these days. Interestingly they are all monogrammed to a wedding in April of 1910 so were almost 100 years old when monogrammed!
