1805 shaker spoon?

[coldstone543]

I was using my whites xl pro detector at a construction site in redlion ohio near a know shaker settlement when I found this spoon. It appears unusual with no markings of any kind on it.I was attracted to the area when there was a news report on shaker artifacts being found at a road construction near where I found this.They stopped construction for a short time so that artifacts could be saved and recovered. Any help on id would be appreciated.Thanks.

I have a book called ''KOVELS' KNOW YOUR ANTIQUES '' And in the spoon section there's a diagram of one just like yours dated 1760 .

Why is it bent so? Was there a young Uri in those days?

not to be ugly, but it looks like someone's heroin spoon

your spoon has the Detached Sheel Pattern...circa 1740
On the back of the handle ...get out your magnifier...should be small maker marks...can be one or several....can you see these?

i agree with the 18th.century date...shaker? a little too elaborate for a shaker item don't you think? shakers are well known for simplicity.none the less OLD spoon,too bad it's bent(can be straightened)cool find!
