Description: | Lead alloy spoon fragment. Cast flat sub-rectangular terminal from a spoon, with sides that converge from a possibly curved end. The terminal narrows more sharply at its shouldered junction with a possibly rectangular section stem, which is broken at its narrowest point. The edges may have been bevelled, though now abraded. A stamped rectangular panel on the underside bears the legend BEST METAL; a panel at right angles to this may bear further maker's details, now indistinct, and further illegible lettering appears above the panel. This may be inspired by the development of new alloys in the course of the 18th century. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1825.Length: 52.6mm, Width: 22.4mm, Thickness: 3.3mm, Weight: 15.04gms.
