Sterling spoon ID

Finally found my first silver after getting a decent detector. Appears to be an infant spoon. I’m wondering if there’s someone here who can steer me in the right direction. I can’t seem to find this pattern anywhere with an online search. I think there’s a makers mark on the back but its beyond me.

I call it a sugar spoon. Can't help with the mark though.

+1 looks too long to be a baby spoon, also the bowl of the spoon would be almost too big for an infants mouth, great find! Not sure on that hallmark, someone might be able to help you with that though, congrats!

Thanks guys! Actually my wife just found it on an antique site. She should be a detective. Probably comes from raising 2 mischievous teenage boys.

It’s Jermyn by Watson 1896 pattern. I think it’s a “4 o’clock spoon”, whatever the heck that is. Maybe it’s what the genteel folks used for their afternoon tea.

That's exactly right. Sugar was expensive so a small spoon was used to dish it out. I have quite a few from my grandmothers. There are also a lot of collectors that specialize in sugar spoons. There are a large variety of collector series out there.
