Wallace produced an extensive line of largely floral numbered patterns in the early years of the 20th century.
An example from that series, this 5 9/16" long, .61 T. oz. teaspoon is number "219" as imprinted on the backside, along with Wallace's "R W deer head & S" emblem and the word "Sterling."
The handle portrays a robust cluster of chrysanthemum blossoms, buds, and leaves on both the front and back sides.
The handle obverse is engraved "EF" in fancy Old English lettering, and the bowl interior "THB" in a matching font, suggesting that was a gift from one of these two persons to the other.
This evidences no signs of use, retains clear pattern detail, and has a perfectly formed bowl that is free of bends, dents, or tip wear.
