Sterling pattern

Hi again, this spoon came from a scrap lot, is a John Aldwinckle & James Slater spoon London 1881.
I want to know if my research are correct. I'm trying to found same pattern, do someone know the name of it?
Thanks

 

Confirming your findings re. hallmarks.
As to pattern, it may have been a limited production of a novelty or commemorative spoon.
Wait for Baker's Grandma to stop by, she will know more.

 

Also confirming the marks, with one additional bit. The gentlemen are as stated, but the firm was called Holland, Son & Slater, according to this site. http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-JA-JB.html#JA

Definitely not a "named pattern" as you would see in tableware. I believe (but could be wrong on the terminology) that this was an "anointing spoon."

 

If you scroll way down in this article about the Crown Jewels of England, you'll see a picture of the special type of anointing spoon used in the coronation of English monarchs - and therefore called The Coronation Spoon.

Thanks Sandra & Bakersgma, i said pattern because i found a similar one set. As you say most be conmemorative spoon.

 

Not an anointing spoon, the design is based on 17th century spoons, probably Dutch or German, may be a fantasy design, or could be a reproduction of an actual spoon of the era. The link below shows some mid 17th century Dutch spoons with similar finials and one with masks:

Thanks for setting me straight, Cheryl.

 

I wonder why anybody would scrap something like this?
