Old silverware

[bamahunter44]

Any idea about how old these would be? Especially the one with the little girl on it. Found these around a freestanding chimney. While we are at it. How old you think this chimney could be. It looks very primitive to me.

Thanks!

The spoon looks like a baby spoon. Looks like a very interesting spot for detecting. You should go back and do some more hunting.

Yes I tried to dig very clean plugs as this is in someone's back yard in very wealthy part of town.

As I was leaving the homeowner told me the across the street neighbor thinks there is an old wishing well in the woods behind the house. I'm going to try my best to get my foot in the door on that one.

Are there any markings on the backs of the silverware?

Yes the baby spoon says sterling and has some maker mark symbols. They are very small. Ill see if I can get some pictures when I get home tonight

The big spoon says brazil silver on the back

Found one of the baby spoons, noting that it was little Bo peep: Vintage Sterling Silver Little Bo Peep Childs Knife Spoon Fork Set | eBay
This is an eBay ended listing, which you might have to be logged in to view, and if you can't it is marked as made by Webster (no date). Their mark is a "W" over "Co" with an arrow horizontally through the letters
