Hey all! I found this spoon at an old house in the middle of my woods. Is there any way to date and value it?

Welcome to tnet I know old silver didn't have makers marks is there any other markings on it. I bet if you did some research you would be able to identify it that's part of the fun !!!!Nice find!!!!

No there's no more markings and I looked but couldn't find my markings in this specific pattern

References to the maker just call them WBM Sheffield, and the pattern is WBM1: Wbm Sheffield, WBM1 (Silverplate) at Replacements, Ltd

Yeah there are no other marks, and there weren't any in the exact pattern that mine is. Strange

I think Sheffield plated there spoons and not much silver on them. As far back as 1795.

I think their photo (in the link in my earlier post) doesn't show the detail well, but it is the same as yours in my opinion. Does this seller's picture match, in your opinion? VINTAGE SHEFFIELD SILVER PLATE SPOON (S)/5 WBM/LILLIES/LILY/JEWELRY SPOON RING + | #418983034
Sheffield was a place where many manufacturers set up shop, not a particular maker.
Yes, a lot of plated stuff (like this), but not all pieces marked Sheffield are plated.
