He also served as an early mayor of Portland. In this case, the spoon can be tied to St. Louis by the fact that that place-name is incorporated into the mark. The maker's mark or retailer's mark on this piece is legible, despite a stress in the spoon that runs through the mark. There is no monogram or sign of... Click for details
