This is a 9 inch coin silver spoon made by Hequembourg. There was a Hequembourg family of silversmiths that operated in the Newport Connecticut area in the early 19th century. They were in several places in New York in the 1820’s thru early 1840’s. They settled in St Louis in the 1840’s and operated thru the 1850’s. In addition to the Hequembourg mark there is also a D, an eagle and a head facing to the left. The spoon is monogrammed with 3 letters. Circa 1840.
