I'm going to keep looking, I wish it had a makers mark or some other kind of markings.

Chances are you will never know much about the origin of your pewter spoons.
Pewter spoon molds were quite common and as soon as a family could afford
a set they became part the cooking utensils. Spoons didn't last because of the soft material so the molds were used frequently. Back then tin, copper, lead and other low temp. minerals were relatively easy to obtain. If they didn't have the right % of each.... aaaah hell that's close enough.... pour it....

Thanks very interesting. I did not know some were made on site. Looks kind of rough and home made to me...
