The makers' mark WE/WF/WC, as illustrated in your earlier post, is shown in Grimwade as having been entered in 1808 by William Eley, William Fearn, and William Chawner, London spoonmakers. The date would threfore be 1809 (as correctly given earlier), and not 1789 (the other possible "o" letter)

Oh No I was hoping no one would see that....never guess I am a pastry chef by day.

I guess I was thinking of a vacation?(SAND) or maybe Ship...Sand?

Anyway Thank you to everyone....the help I have received has been great.

Sincerely,
Roger
