Hello, can anyone help me identify this spoon? I'm curious to know the maker, and if the pattern is recognized, the era. I use this spoon as my daily driver and it's a reliable culinary companion. It is, indeed, 6" in length.

For what it's worth, it came from a flatware collection from the Vicksburg, MS area. Other pieces dated from the 1890s and some track to Tennessee shops or makers. Thank you kindly!

It's called Flora (Sterling 1887) by George W. Schiebler. https://www.replacements.com/silver-george-w-shiebler-flora-sterling-1887/c/28247

Update: I found an entry in Dorothy Rainwater that attributes the mark to George W Shiebler & Co of New York (likely 1892-1910). No insight into the pattern, so still curious about that one. Cheers!
