Here is an interesting teaspoon of unknown origin. The bowl is very long, narrow and pointed and the stem is chamfered near the bowl. It has a faint midrib on the back but no drop, and there are no sign sof a monogram. The mark is simply a letter "E" flanked by two faint tiny circles.

I am stumped. Any ideas?

I believe the 2 faint tiny circles may be French Hallmarks. The one on the right looks like a dog or boar's head. Couldn't get enough zoom on them to be sure.

Thank you both for your input! Unfortunately, the marks are just circles; poorly stuck, but just plain circles nonetheless.
