Description: | An incomplete silver spoon handle, of Post Medieval dating (16th Century AD).The handle is an elongated 'tear drop' shape, with a rounded end. The front exhibits a central ridge (Hanoverian terminal) and the back is flat. Two initials have been scratched on the reverse 'S*C', presumably those of the original owner.The handle has broken across the hallmark, with only the standard mark being present. This mark consists of a Lion passant, facing left in a rectangular cartouche, with a small triangle removed next to the lion's head.This has been reported as Potential Treasure, due to potential age and silver content. Treasure number: 2011T237
