✅ SOLVED Pewter spoon handle?

[WVExplorer]

Looks to be pewter and possibly quite old? I don’t see any makers marks or any detail, very plain. Appears to be a fiddle shape and has the shoulders where the bowl would have been attached.

Most likely mid 1700’s to 1800. I have found that early shape in a number of silver plated spoons and a few solid silver spoons. I found one made of tombac. Most of my pewter spoons are the rat tail style. Nice old find!
