Out in the woods again after work and got a solid signal for this lovely Little Bo. Peep old silver baby spoon.  Cool

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.

That was my same comment when I washed the dirt away! Have not seen one like it online. Needs some stain removal, which I will do soon w baking soda.

Update: Online research led me to the timeframe of the Little Bo-Peep silver baby spoon found. The spoon's maker was the Watson Co. that originated in 1874 and was a major maker of American silverware until it was sold in 1955. As indicated below, the spoon is from 1910-1950, timeframe when they used the Crown/W/Lion Sterling mark.  Teach

Watson & Newell / Watson Co.
Attleboro, MA  1880-1955 
Watson & Newell was founded by Clarence L. Watson
and Fred A. Newell who worked together at Cobb,
Gould & Co. (1874-1880).  They expanded to Watson,
Newell & Co 1886-1895, incorporationg in 1895 to the
Watson, Newell Co.  The company was renamed in 1919 to the
Watson Co.  With showrooms in Chicago, New York and San
Francisco, Watson became a major manufacturer of sterling
flatware and holloware.  The mark of the flag with the H in it
was for flatware made by their subsidiary company, the Mechanics Sterling Co.
Watson also made a line of sterling holloware for Wilcox & Wagoner beginning about
1900 bearing the sword and laurel wreath mark.  When Wilcox & Wagoner folded c. 1905,
Watson continued producing with this mark until 1929.  The crown/W/lion mark was used 1910-1950.  Watson was
acquired by Wallace Silversmithsin 1955; their souvenir spoon dies went to J.T. Inman.
