They are mentioned here in this business directory 1849- http://tinyurl.com/2c4jtz8

It's not much but it puts a date on it, hope this helps.

PS- If you put your search terms (in this case Upton&Knowles) in "quotation marks" on Google it will narrow down the results to only those with that specific word or phrase or what have you.

Mid 1800s, as the link above suggests. Here is another link that shows their hallmark:

The style of the spoon is mid-1800s as well.

GREAT find!
