5 Sterling Spoons - Any Antique?

    The only way I have been able to find sterling silver so far is to have a large neon sign pointing at the object. I hope to learn, though, with your help. Since I haven't been finding hidden treasures, the best I can hope for is that they are antique. I found five spoons today all of which are marked sterling and all the bowls have the same roundish shape.

    The first three have the same Reed and Barton marks and pattern and
    "Pat April 15, 1902". Two of them have the same initial and sterling stamp. The third has a different initial on the front, "C.D. Peacock"? stamped next to the Reed and Barton Mark, and 1905 engraved in the bottom of the handle.​

    The fourth one is also Reed and Barton with "BUNDE & UPMEYER" stamped on it and a "Pat. May 22 1900".

    The fifth has "New York" engraved in the bowl of the spoon. I don't know the mark and it has "Sterling Pat 02" under the mark.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Where there is an additional name on the handle (in addition to Reed & Barton) the extra name is the retailer.

    The 5th one was sold as a souvenir spoon.

    The first 3 with the 1902 date may be in on of the motifs included in the La Parisienne pattern (a multi-motif pattern.) See the examples on this page to confirm.https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Patterns/RB4.html

    On the same page, see the Les Cinque Fleur pattern for the one with the 1900 date.

    You're absolutely wonderful for helping me. The first three are one of the La Parisenne patterns, the second one from the bottom. I'm not sure about the second reference. Now that you've given me the link, I'll try to find it. Does this mean they are antique or is this just when the design was done? Thank you very much.

    So the maker on the 5th one is an unknown? Just an itinerant souvenir spoon company?

    I'm having a tough time figuring out the maker of the last spoon, Can you get a better picture of marK?

    I think is it reasonable to assume that these are all antiques.

    One last question, if you don't mind - what type of spoon are these? They aren't teaspoons because they have a round bowl.

    How long are they? (Proper measurement is taken with the bowl face down from tip of handle to tip of bowl.)

    Round bowl is often "cream soup" but there are some makers who used other names.

    5 3/8 inches It has a distinct bend at the junction of the handle and the bowl

    That's a "bouillion" spoon. Their cream soup was a tad longer, gumbo even longer.

    Sorry for all the edits - still early here.

    Hey. I was wondering why you were up so early too as we are in the same time zone.

    Yes we are! I'm an early riser but that doesn't mean I'm awake. ;)
