✅ SOLVED Silver halmark help

[recondigger]

My buddy found this spoon it's silver and hallmarked. I have looked and looked and can't find anything. I know the marks are worn pretty good but I'm hoping someone can can help me date it and find out where it was made. The site we found it on is a never before searched Dutch settlement dating from 1800-1910.

I'm guessing early to mid 1800's but I still can't figure it out

Note that OP's and Bramblefind's finds were in New York. That may be a useful fact in ID-ing these spoons.

We'll from what I can find they are not real hallmarks. There is no real record of them and were put on the silver made in the states to give the look of quality silver from Europe. And I'm thinking they were made in New York around the middle of the 1800's.
