This lengthy at 11 1/2", 3.4 T. oz., piece is variously identified as a basting, stuffing or platter spoon.
English in origin, it is hallmarked for London, 1805-06, sterling silver, and "TW" for maker Thomas Wallis.
The slender handle is "Old English" style, with a rounded end and tipt backside. There is thumb drop on the bowl reverse.
Never originally monogrammed or inscribed, this was apparently re-presented as a 25th commemorative gift, given the script "1928/L/1953" engraved on the handle front.
In outstanding condition, there is no visible wear or damage. The bowl is free of dents, bends, or burrs, and the overall finish shows a warm patina.
